You are totally right! Some of us posties endure pain everyday (e.g. bad backs, pains in our legs through walking or standing or pains in our shoulders through lifting trays, mailbags, pushing yorks and A frames all day) whilst these pen pushers sit behind their desks and tell us that we have to work to 65. I cannot see myself doing all this after I am 60, some days I am in pain but I carrying on regardless. My job entails alot of lifting why should I still be doing this after the age of 60. At present I see alot of posties taking medical retirement because they have trouble with their backs, legs, feet, etc and they are not even 60 yet. I would love to see these pen pushers do my job for 6 month and then they can judge whether we should retire at 60 or not

Unfortunately, the assholes who get paid enormous sums for not an awful lot, like these two buffoons :lfo :cfo will have to be made to understand,
and soon.

What really gets my goat is that neither the Top Union guys or Top Royal Mail guys who are doing all the discussing and who will no doubt compromise "for us" , are actually members of the same pension as any of us. Sso how can they, in all truth defend our position, and make decisions which will have no affect on them at all. In point they have no vested interest in keeping the scheme as it is so it will be surrendered on the Altar of compromise.

Iv'e said all along this idea of working to 65 is a non starter. all you will end up with is a company that sit's at the top of the sickness in employment league. All it proves is the twats who come up with these ideas have never done the job or they would know it's not on.
