My eyes are open thank you, I see and know what I know from being a Royal mail employee. Your right though, screw the union, we should work for free because we are told to. Thank you for opening my eyes.

You either didn't read or chose to ignore what I actually posted that postal workers who finished their given tasks would rather sit idle and not help another department or if they do they expect overtime while actually still working their alloted shift, effectively expecting triple pay. Maybe you would not have to deliver other rounds if you agreed to work to the new planned routes that your union blocked because of old fashioned demarkation lines. You're stuck in the 70's where you strike at the drop of a hat and the union's resist any change. I don't believe you work overtime for nothing, you'll either be paid or have the time given back, basic employment laws protect you from that. Save me you're bleeding heart so many in the Royal Mail have milked the system for all its worth and brought it to the woeful state its in now. I don't see you denounce the "spanish practices" your OWN Chief Executive talked about trying to stop but the unions resisted. I know two postal workers very well so I'm not just getting my story from the media even if the media are quoting your own Chief Executive, but hey I guess he doesn't know what he's talking about either. You acuse me of posting stories from the media but you'll just come back with some union line fed to you.
