postal workers strike?

I would love to beat one of them, possible stab them with a flaming spear that has posion dart frog attached. I have been expecting mail for three weeks too. For all the info go to the royam mail website, but it does say that we shouldn't have a strike until the 8th. Idiots.

Oh, and it's about pay. The royal mail can't offer them a pay raise though.

I agree with Sanchez that calling them 'vile cretins' isn't really helpful. However, I am concerned that when doctors, firemen, surgeons and police strike they have to maintain a minimal service i.e. all the firemen in one county can't go on strike at the same time. This means that if there is a fire, there is someone on hand to put it out. I think this current situation where strikes are rolled out across the country, instead of a series of one day strikes is unfair, as mail gets held up in different sectors - mail held in a sorting office which is on strike today, may not get delivered tomorrow because the post men/women are on strike in this area. Whilst the postal service isn't life threatening, and I know they want to cause maximum disruption to get their point across, it seems a little unfair on the rest of us who are not waiting for social cheques, but nevertheless are suffering.

So it doesn't matter to you that they are hilariously underpaid and get treated like crap at work? It isn't an enviable job and calling them vile crettins is just out of order. You think it's an easy job then go do it yourself, you can be a part-time postie, earn some money. Though I really doubt you have twelve children :p If you were unhappy in your job, you'd like to think you can make a difference and fight for the standards you deserve in this country, but when it comes to a service that you take for granted, when they're unhappy they're the enemy.

If it were nurses and doctors on strike, you'd all support them, but hevean forbid, the postmen are striking, they're the bad guys? Why? Is it the postmen's fault? Nope, sorry, you're mislead with that one so don't you dare refer to me as 'vile crettin' again. HAve you considered that maybe, just maybe, bad management is to blame for bad service?

Idiot. People like you don't deserve social cheques. Though, I really think you do need a social check.

Sanchez must be a postman.

Stop bloody putting the wrong mail in my letterbox, i get letters for people 3 streets away......and they look important. I always put it back in the post box in the hope that you might actually read the address properly the next day.

Why don't you get a job as a postman, & stop sponging of the State.Then you can do something useful, like joining

the picket line & stop reproducing ?

The postal workers were on strike? Gee I didn't notice any difference in the service.

Get a job and leave the McCanns out of it.

Thanks for the question, I don't really have an answer.......I will give you an star for this queston.

excellent, no answer but thanks for the smile, oh and a star for you.
