I don't want Royal Mail

[BCram]

Saturdays aren’t overtime for posties, it’s part of their working week, the overtime rate is the same as the hourly rate, the union sold the higher rates a good few years ago,

If someone goes off sick the only way to cover it is by overtime, I can’t think of any other way they could cover it, posties work 5 days over 6, so when there is absence due to sick they will be asked to work their day off, if packet amounts are high they’ll ask people to deliver them on overtime, Royal Mail has worked on overtime since I joined, they have said they’d cut it for years but have never been able to

Are you not worried that selling out to a foreign owner is a really bad idea. I don't see any sign that foreign ownership of water or private ownership of railway franchises has worked for the benefit of either the employees or the service customers.

I don't understand how you can order some really cheap stuff from Amazon and they can deliver it for free, sometimes the product costs less than the price of a first class stamp.
