Any public service provider. Instant dismissal. The reason they strike is because of that, not because they are being ill treated. Nasty, greedy .

It's not a public service though.

So sorry to hear views like this from you Mr Trumpet, Mrs Grim Reaper has always said good things about you but you clearly have no idea what you're talking about on this issue. Absolutely nothing to do with greed it's about some grubby little bastard who's sat in his palace in Switzerland trying to sink all Royal Mails standards and commitment to the 6 day universal service to the bottom of the swamp. Rico Back trashed the German postal service and has come to do the same here. Also the court ruling is an absolute farce caused by obvious political pressure and I should point out that the ballot of RM staff took place weeks before any date for general election being announced, and by the way the ballot was the biggest turn out and yes vote of any Union action in the country so what makes it right for all our votes to be dismissed and we be forced to comply with the wishes of some bastard who can't even be bothered to be personally present at negotiations! Just saying and nice to meet you!

More or less what my postie told me on this issue.

Well done Grim for standing up! And good luck in future actions

Hi Arista
The ballot for this strike was taken way before any general election was announced and got the biggest turn out and yes vote ever! Nobody votes for strike action lightly don't forget none of us get paid during a strike!

[Kizzy]

I hope they appeal, what is the point of having rights and organisations to protect those rights when private enterprise can take court action to have those rights overruled?

"The judge agreed with the company's lawyers that members were “encouraged” to intercept their ballot papers at work and vote immediately for the 'yes' option, rather than at home away from any pressure. "

That is the biggest load of toss I've ever heard any one have the neck to claim as a viable reason! Firstly not all that many posties work in their own delivery offices and second I actually do work in my office and I pick up my own mail everyday.. I took my ballot paper home and made my vote with Mrs Reaper present and with her consent I might add!

well thankfully the high court judge based his ruling on more than one anecdotal sliver of evidence

Oh yeah instead they based it on some concocted bollocks from a nameless RM manager who is no doubt being well renumerated for his completely unsubstantiated evidence! You might not give a **** about your postal service in Scotland but we do down here mate!

Yes but because it was set for December
The High Court was brought in.

So any dispute can only be acted on so long as it doesn't disrupt Santa, leave it out? Do you know us Posties get to watch a video (are forced to watch) from the bosses and last week they said they would respect the vote and keep it live, meaning we wouldn't have to ballot again, so long as the threat to strike was taken off till after xmas. In other words they had no problem with any so called voting discrepencies and basically if we still wanted to strike after xmas when no one gives a **** that would be ok!!

To be fair, Royal Mail / Post Office have always been the same. I remember when I was a kid my mum worked for Post Office and my Dad for BT, both were out on strike at the same time...dad was out for weeks. It crippled them financially and took years to recover from. No one takes strike action lightly when it directly impacts them and their families. This high court action seems to be a death knoll for the Unions if voted for actions can be over turned. We are all going to be minions soon. Sorry you're going through this Grim and Mrs Grim

Thank you AnnieK it must have been very hard for them/you and you are so right nobody takes the decision to strike lightly especially at Xmas, i mean who would vote to lose all their pay at this time without bloody good reason?

Only mean, greedy people obviously

Everybody's jobs have changed. The more technological we become, the fewer people we need. And with the advent of the email, the postie's job was never going to remain the same, sadly. I have a wonderful postman called Colin. He doesn't just deliver the post, he collects it from elderly people as we're a bit remote. He checks on people to make sure they're okay, especially in very hot or very cold weather and generally looks after the people on his round. He is a super-nice man... posties do more than just deliver letters.
