hang on a min....hang on a min though...
it's not 'the royal mail' who are striking.
it's their staff...
it's not their staff who set their prices... but if they demand more money the prices will surely go up.
it will only go further to putting 'the royal mail' in jepoardy if the staff continue to strike...
so i don't get it...
yes... more power to them... staff that is.. not the royal mail.. who set the prices.... they are evil... somehow....

One tick, there...The staff have been shit on for years, have had effective pay cuts (more hours, no/tiny pay increases that don't keep up with inflation) and the like.
The Royal Mail has obligations to the country that companies have been taking advantage of to force the RM to deliver "their" mail at lower prices than the RM can provide.
Just another example of fairly decent people who work in a job that means something to them, having that meaning twisted by their bosses who know they're almost never going to stop working no matter what the conditions are like.
Y'know, like Nurses were/are. (at least in NZ)
