No show of simon over the past couple of weeks. Hes been a bit quiet :shhhhh so strikes will go ahead.

Maybe he's got other things on his mind like if the share price keeps on falling, after xmas he can buy some more on the cheap and then screw us over. That's the type of person he is unfortunately.

YES….RM getting desperate now asking friends and family to break the strike and still not offering anything meaningful to its people that keep the wheels of the company moving..I’m looking forward to having a few days off this Christmas.

I'd be happy with that as well. I'm loving these 3 or 4 day weeks and just doing what I can within my hours with no pressure. I'll be gutted when they stop

So you obviously not worried about the reduced take home pay then ? You loving it so much you'd be happy and could easily get by on 19k pa ? No cost of living crisis in your household then ?

Will these people get any training or are Royal Mail happy to break health and safety rules

I don’t think it will go ahead.

I expect the union to fold to half-arsed promises in the coming week, and reward it’s members with the busiest 23rd and 24th of December we’ve ever seen.

I hope I’m wrong.

Check out the weather forecast for 23rd & 24th, torrential rain all of it.

How depressing will that be! being dragged back in to tramp the streets until 5pm on Xmas eve.

silly question again ! why would they not go ahead nothing has changed except RM have gone even more bizarre !
Exactly this. Isn't the goal of striking to hear them squirm until they sign an acceptable agreement?

Ill be honest its surprising how much money people waste on shite,ive cancelled sky ,the football is shite anyway,cancelled my netflix and spotify, netflix has got shite ,music i listen to the radio for free,stopped the takeaways,ive saved myself £ 60 a week easy ,the striking and covid have definitely made me think a little more about life not money ,its time to get back to the 70's and introduce the 3 day week,that'll stick growth up the tories ass.

Exactly this. They underestimated us with the scaremongering. Now they try to charm us. There behaviour is too erratic and its boring to even pay attention anymore
