The postal strike [Merged]

[Timbo]

Postmen

Does anyone know if they still exist or do you have to go and collect your own post nowadays?

 

[JBizzleBeard]

Erm, they are on strike until Wednesday. So you just gotta wait till then.

Grr it annoys me so much - ive got a computer game, and some cold and flu stuff from my mum somewhere in this rubbish postal system of ours!

 

[Tooting Gull]

So how do I know if my Bristol ticket is on strike or waiting to be collected at The Withdean?

If it hasn't arrived already, you can be CERTAIN that it won't arrive tomorrow morning.

I suggest you phone the Ticket Office TODAY and ask them to get get a duplicate sent to Withdean.

Except you'll probably find a striking postie in your seat tomorrow, having PILFERED your ticket.

Here we go again, people who slag off out postal system should try a few other country's services. then you;d learn to appreciate what a good service we have. The postal workers are merely trying to save their jobs so I don't blame them one iota. It's just amazing how selfish some people can be.

I agree. Holding the country to ransom by stopping everybody receiving personal and business mail. Selfish bastards.

Nobody has obviously ever made you redundant ? At least with the Postal system there are alternatives which is not true of people in transportation. Not just trains and tubes but what about air traffic controllers who strike during the holiday season ?

 

[Chester Drawers]

Our postman delivered this morning ... does that make him a scab?

 

[pasty]

I was made redundant about 4 years ago after, I might add, working very hard on the project that ultimately caused my redundancy.

The posties are trying to keep hold of a final salary pension scheme, which is something virtually noone has anymore. The CWU appears to still believe that they are still working in a public company. All that is going to happen is that the RM will lose more business and so have to lose more jobs.

If the postie is on strike he wouldn't be at work, so how could he have pilfered the ticket?
