DAILY MAIL COMMENT: Unions risk a first-class debacle for the Royal Mail

The bellicose postal unions may believe they are standing up for oppressed workers against employers out to exploit them.

But their hard-Left leaders should be under no illusion: Any more strikes could collapse the beleaguered Royal Mail – putting the jobs of their very members at risk.

The 500-year-old firm is already teetering on the brink. A wave of walkouts over pay and conditions, especially damaging over Christmas when countless cards and presents went undelivered, have led to eye-watering losses of £1million a day.

Is the Communication Workers Union really unable to grasp the problem?

If it becomes harder for people and businesses to send letters and parcels, they’ll turn to other delivery firms in their droves – further ruining the Royal Mail’s finances.

The union dinosaurs relish the prospect of the Government nationalising the service. But then it would have to compete for funding against other public priorities.

The situation is bleak. But the best solution would be for postal workers to call off their strike – and strive to secure a viable future for the Royal Mail.

Typical right wing bollocks from the compliant lying media. If the Tory twats had have left RM alone it would still be contributing to the exchequer and providing a quality reasonably priced service to industry and residential customers. Tory greed and corruption has caused this crisis and unfortunately it's not just RM who are the victims of these vile right wing bastards.

According to previous ramblings by Thompson, he inherited a company ‘losing £1m per day’. That was before any strikes by us.

Why isn’t he being dragged for utterly failing to turn that around?

An insight into the minds of old Lenny boy and his filthy sidekick.

Suddenly it’s all become the CWU and its members fault that the company is loosing £1m+ per day. Daily Mail spin.

People will turn to others to deliver letters in droves,? Who?

[pieoftheday]

Telegraph blaming it all in us as well

Lions led by donkeys blame it all on the people who make the money while the clowns at the top full their pockets at least dick turpin wore a mask

No chance. Up the workers!

They'll be paying probably £5+ for each letter as they'll have to send them with a courier if RM vanished

Yes, amazing it's been around for 500 years yet little over a decade of privatisation has left it supposedly on the brink. Some how it's the workers fault. If you believe that you'll belive anything.
