Sorting office under threat

Charlene Blackwood wrote:

I am just sorry the strikers efforts were in vain, and sorting offices from all over the place are being shut down leading to people being inconvenienced due to the penny pinching strategy coming from Royal Mail's management, and when one wants to lodge a complaint about its service you speak to a person who knows nothing, and only breeds more disinformation about its service!!!

I concur with email. The mail service need to massivley over hauled. It always amazed that bullying "by the manmagment" is given as an excuse for striking. Is not the case "the managment as re merely" trying to implement change? I spoke to dozen of mail workers during the postal strikes when I enquired what there rationale was I was always given same two answers bulling by the managment and modenisation no one was able to give examples of bullying or what was specfically wrong the modernisation except the my post wasn't gonig to arrive until the afternoon. Which as it already arrives at midday when like most people are at work arte not massively concerned it arrives a few hours later. All this modernisation might reduce the royal mail carbon foot print. lets hope some of the senior managment at the royal mail has the sense to flush all the unions leaders head down the toilet as part of there bullying campaign

Kent Vespa, Striking is never the answer and the postal staff involved in this unforgivable act should have a long think about the consequences of their actions. It is acts such as this which force modernisation and more efficient sorting offices to become necessary. Personally, I don’t think it matters if my post only comes once / twice a week. More urgent items and parcels are better left to the private companies who seem to have a better understanding of urgency, even when you consider the slight extra cost involved.

I don’t accept the attitude ‘the staff on the street have nothing to do with mail arriving late’ staff on the street represent to service and it is the responsibility of everyone in the service (including those on the ground) to ensure mail is delivered properly.

email, what has striking postal workers got to do with offices closing down? The Postal workers went on strike due to the bullying and intimidation from management and also defending YOUR postal service. The strikes were nothing to do with pay.
The staff on the streets have nothing to do with the lateness of mail arrival. Within the next 6 months you will be receiving your mail after lunch, according to management this is because of modernisation.
When the private sector get their hands on the RM letters business you will find out what a terrible and costly service is! You've been warned.

I assume those who went on strike will be the first to be invited not to return!

Here we are again Royal Mail not satisfied with wage agreements with the unions but now wants to lose more jobs at the public expence. Have people not got the message yet the more people we throw out of work the more we have to pay in taxes and benefits. This is a retrograde step for joe public we have already lost our second delivery a day and later start times by royal mail mean later delivery of our mail when most people are at work. Will we be expected to make our way to the nearest delivery office to pick our mail up which could be a long car journey away. Does anybody consider joe public these days or is it all profit driven for management at the top to receive large bonuses at our expence. According to Mr Cameron people will be allowed o have their say and be listened to. Once again its the burocrats in these nationised companies taking us for a ride.
