from a personal level what are people doing concerning the governments plans to privitise rm? i believe we all need to put aside feelings of the cwu and do something at least for yourself.if you think things are bad now wait til tnt are having their wicked way with us.you only have to look at what is happening in the netherlands to get a clear view of the future.

TBH it's inevitable. Parliament will decide and the con/dems have enough of a working majority to push this through even with 20-30 backbench revolters. How bad is it at TNT Netherlands? Also can they cut our wages or only impose pay freeze?

Dam that is depressing. So with the 6months or so before the sell off (next summer is Cable's estimate) we have 1 /12 years before we could be on minimum wage? Jesus lets hope there are more jobs in the economy by then. I'd rather flip burgers for MW than do this for MW anyday.
