Government Business is key to Post Office Survival

Post by Retired Old Postman »

Business from the government is the key to the survival of post offices Lib Dem MP Susan Kramer has said.

Speaking in response to a statement in which the government announced the closure of 2500 post offices Ms Kramer, who is Lib Dem Shadow Trade and Industry Secretary, challenged the government to give assurance that no more government business would be withdrawn from the Post Office.

Ms Kramer called on the government to explain their contingency plans in the event that the Post Office failed to win the tender for the Post Office card account. She also criticised the government’s plan to abolish the post office watchdog Postwatch, leaving consumers with little support when fighting local post office closures. :no no

Does this mean that Royal Mail are in for another large loss, like when the government pulled the plug on the computer pensions/benifit system a few year ago. :no no :pray

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.

Only trouble is Lib Dems want to privatise the whole firm it was in their manifesto I think.
