Is anyone else really annoyed by these Royal Mail strikes? They've just announced another two weeks of disruption! I've got several packages stuck in the system which were supposed to be with me last week!
I really don't understand why they're striking, what good does it do them? Their grievance appears to be that RM is modernising and needs new equipment to stay competitive. They object because they think this will mean job cuts. So they strike, which mean RM loses millions of pounds and annoys millions of customers and businesses who will go elsewhere, meaning they end up seriously damaging the company they work for and potentially losing jobs that way!
So if they don't strike, Royal Mail modernises, becomes more profitable, but some jobs go.
And if they do, Royal Mail can't be competitive and loses money, potentially killing the business and pushing customers onto alternative couriers.

i worked there for a summer and while i enjoyed the banter (some of it left me unable to breathe for laughing) and the excersise, going to bed at 8pm when all my mates were at the pub or hanging out someplace killed me.
