Mail deliveries crippled by second strike

A SECOND strike is due to cripple mail deliveries across Oxfordshire from today. Drivers in charge of transporting mail to the county’s delivery offices will be out for 48 hours.

It means no lorries will carry mail from Swindon where mail is now sorted since the closure of the Oxford mail centre in June.

The strike, which is being staged by postal lorry drivers across the UK, focuses on a breakdown of negotiations between the Communication Workers Union and management, a lack of “family friendly” working hours and alleged bullying and harassment of staff.

Meanwhile, a national ballot for strike action amongst all Royal Mail staff due to start on Wednesday has been postponed and is set to take place on September 16.

Just about all my essential business is done by email these days. The postal service is irrelevant.

Sack the lot of them, Typical thick ignorant British Moron. Sack Fred the Shred? –No? I work for Royal Mail the job is not easy we work our hours and get paid. But then again I believe you need a clean CRB which takes out 50% of population. In any event it’s not easy trust me it’s hard graft you earn your money for solid work. Honestly it's a tough job once the recession is out I’m get the hell out they can get some African to do the job. Chequebook deliveries have been noted to reduce in areas where this type of idiotic Royal Mail employment occurs. Not that they care it just money now. Smash the pension, smash the wages, and smash everything. Broken Britain = Royal Mail just another sign of this country and where it’s gone to the dogs.

Stand up you morons fight for something for god sake you have nothing left you are the cesspit of Europe. You even try to attack your posties. This county has gone to the dogs it was said many years ago last one to leave turn out the light.

Now you even attack your poor postie shame on you bankrupt Britain, yeah do away with the jobs. Send me my P45. For the work I do and what I earn to be honest mate I would be better off on benefit system anyway. Working your backside off and making a living in this country is a waste of time- then to top it off you get load of abuse from people who are waiting for their Giro’s. This country has seriously gone to the dogs I’m planning to emigrate get the hell out of this dump
