People aren't allowed to do that, as soo as the item is sent off its out of your hands, it even says so on every ebay auction page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want a pay rise so that they get the same amount they get now in the future, with inflation taken into account. They want their jobs to be as they are...

Jimbob Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I don't care about these strikes, hasn't affected me at all. For what they do in all weathers, the Postie's deserve a bit more pay. The staff who work indoors in the sorting offices don't really need more pay as they don't have to work in all weathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluejay Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Cry me a river. Tosser. The same people who deliver do the sorting. No. My Uncle works purely in sorting. As far as I know, it is seperate. Maybe some do both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I did it everybody did both apart from the part timers. Every few weeks I'd get put on the night shift sorting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePigMarcher Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Have not had a sighting of any postie for the last couple of days. The announcement of renewed strike action and the continual poor service round here (even when the strikes aren't on) means that there is no way I can support their cause.

Patch Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I have mixed feelings about the strike. To me, it's a very selfish thing to say 'I am not happy about my job so I am going to inconvenience others to make my voice heard'. But then, if they do feel underpaid (and I admit they probably are), there's little else they can do. When I did it everybody did both apart from the part timers. Every few weeks I'd get put on the night shift sorting. We did both as well. I was also on the delivery side of things. I have no idea how the collecting side of things goes.

If there's a post box on your delivery route you empty it, van drivers do the lunch and tea time pick ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patch Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 If there's a post box on your delivery route you empty it, van drivers do the lunch and tea time pick ups. Weird. In that case, I either didn't have a postbox on my walk, or er, something else. We had special boxes halfway round some walks where you could pick up your second lot of post to deliver. The van drivers dropped the mail there and it was basically just a box on a pole that only you could open with a key. Any interesting stories to tell? I wasn't there that long, so not much really happened to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the life of a postman is pretty dull really. if you have somthing to say to me! dont hide it in posts, no need for childish insults, SLACKERS thats all they are, Do you fancy getting up around 3am every morning and then spending about five hours on your feet carrying a heavy bag in all weathers for shit money? No, didn't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patch Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 No, the life of a postman is pretty dull really. I was promised the opportunity of seeing barely-clad females answering the door to sign for deliveries. What I actually got was barking dogs craving human flesh.

BlueStar Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Good on them, you need trade unions and workers to fuck shit up every now and again to keep in check the clueless oafs in middle management who have no idea what goes on in the actual day to day running of the business by the people who have to do the work. As some people in this thread will find when they leave school and (maybe) get a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfox Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I spoke to the Postie at work today, and he says that Royal Mail bosses (i.e Klueless Kunts who run the company) want to lay off a load of workers and get the service to be more efficient (which apparently it already is..) so they can sell the company off and make a shit load via bonuses. So basicaly, fat cats trying to fuck up another public service - great. The Trade Unions have my total support in that case, my mail can wait.
