The postman dont want to strike, they have been left with no alternative. My dad didnt want to strike but the post office left them with no choice.

They work no harder than anyone else does. We all work hard and expect fair pay and conditions for our efforts.
I personally do not agree with striking, it solves very little. Years ago a strike was a strike you were out until things were settled, now they have 2 days here, 2 days there. It is disruptive for those of us that expect a service yet we are not the ones responsible for their pay and conditions.

No fair enough. But the goverment invested millions of public money into the postal system the last few years but no postman saw any of that.
The post office chairman recieves a salary of £1 Million a year with bonus's. Is that fair he gets so much when the workers get basic pay with a pay rise of only 2.5% when inflation is at over 4% a year.
Post office provide a service and if there not paid fairly then i see no problem with removing their labour.
My dad's first priority is his family not delivering people's mail and if stricking gets him better pay then thats what hes going to do.
