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)
