In Belgium, CVC (a private equity firm most likely to aquire 49% of RM) have had 49.9% share in the national state owned Belgian Post since 2006. Current restructuring proposals by CVC (making the service ready for the wider mail-liberalisation) include new 'part-time workers'-
'Some 8,000 of these part-time jobs would replace the positions of 4,000 postal workers who are due to retire in the coming years.
It is planned that these part-time workers, who would be low-paid, would deliver mail in their own neighbourhood for a couple of hours each day. These ‘community postal delivery workers’ (wijkpostbodes) would – similar to the Dutch system – mainly consist of working students and housewives. Belgian Post hopes to save €30 million through the introduction of this plan.'

Tens of thousands of Belgian postal workers will stage an all-out national strike tomorrow in protest at privatisation, jobs losses, a likely squeeze on pay and liberalisation of Europe's mail market in 2011.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Who will deliver the mail during school holidays and when the students can't get out of bed. IB will be extremely busy thats for sure. Can't see it working over here but what do I knowIt is planned that these part-time workers, who would be low-paid, would deliver mail in their own neighbourhood for a couple of hours each day. These ‘community postal delivery workers’ (wijkpostbodes) would – similar to the Dutch system – mainly consist of working students and housewives.

Maybe they have lighter loads, can't see the average housewife slogging the streets all weathers with 8+ pouches for pin money.
