The people tasked with paying them should go on strike and see how amused they all are then.

Let's do a Maggie and shut the union! :ahee:

I don't even know why they call them the royal mail anymore - they're like the ******* peasant mail at their current state. Letters take ages to arrive, when they do it's at like 4pm. Their service is shocking, half the time they can't even be arsed devliering the parcels or letters, leaving some **** note saying noone was in when my mum actually was.

Then they have the absolute cheek to go on strike. They should be thankful they even have a job - I know thousands of people made redundant who'd be living up to the standards with how the royal mail used to be, and who'd be happy to even be in the job. The workers have no support from me in their strike at all. Maybe if they worked hard, and deserved a pay rise, I might not mind, but the service I get from these people is just shocking.

I'm not that bothered, to be honest. It's just the recession. Times are tight. People only care about themselves. That's that.

dammit, voted yes by accident! When I heard about it yesterday its really annoyed me and maddened me! These people are having 'holidays' while striking and asking for more pay when pilots arn't complaining about getting less and less pay per year!
