“Anon: If your not happy working for RM then resign see what it's like in the real world plenty of people out there who would like your job. Also anon to ashamed to put your name to a comment are you a CWU rep?”

“I'm sorry anon, but when half of the postmen roll into work late and still drunk from the night before and they can't even be bothered to actually do there work because they are so consumed in drink most of the time. they deserve to lose there jobs! give the jobs to people who really need them!”

“Amy, your husband is despicable for calling 99% of postman lazy if he is one himself, he should know how bad things are at RM at present, and be supporting his colleuges, not slagging them off...”

“The only problem with this strike is that its only the postal workers. Since the bankers messed up everything for everyone it has been US that are paying for it through jobs and taxes. The only way it will be effective is if all the unions join in and tell the people in charge that we have had enough. This was also the same reason why the minors strike was unsuccessful.”

“You employ people without an i.q. and you'll get strikes at a time that any sensible person can see will cripple the company......well done royal mail staff, you're signing your own p45 and hopefully bringing change to a poor postal service......Good riddance.”

“Unfortunatly Pat I have no sympathy, these foreign casuals as you call them turn up to work so are going to get jobs! Its not just royal mail making cuts...soon there will be no more royal mail as the private delivers appear to be more reliable! and maybe even cheaper!”

“Pat
he delivers the mail and he loves it, He is very concerned for his job as all these company's are using other delivery people now.”

“dear amy i bet your hubby works at the mail centre all the delivery posties want to move back there i wonder why ?????”

“luke , like many others you havent a clue,for a start where they have cut jobs to the bone we have a flying squad of foreign casuals helping out and dont forget that somalian chappie who helped hiself to all your credit cards great innit”

“My husband is a postman and he is dead against the strike like only a few other postmen. He realises that he is lucky to have a job, and he will be going into work the both days!
like my husband says 99% of postmen are lazy! and I have to agree”
