Right time for some ACTUAL facts!!!!!
So how many of you are actual postmen??????? and know the true facts of what is going on and not just beleiving what the media has printed? (as we all know its normally lies just to stir the pot) as this post proves,
Many of the things you are saying are totaly untrue and to be honest i can see why u all have the perception that we are "lazy" etc etc and want something for nothing if this is what u have been reading
there are many issues to why we are doing this and to name just a few:
1, we will have to work an extra five years before we could collect our full pension,and if we were to refuse and collect it at 60 we would have DRAMATICALLY reduced benifits
2, not knowing what job you will be doing from one day to the next
3, having to cover someonelse's delivery aswell as your own due to anual leave or absense for no additional pay
4, 40,000 JOB LOSSES
i dont expect you to agree with what i am saying because your not in the buisness but these are just a few of many many issues to why we are doing this...this isnt about pay or overtime this is about securing postmen's futures..
we didnt want it to come to this but this is the only resort left...i know peoples/companies mail gets delayed as a result of strikes but this is the only option we have...
at the end of the day 140 000 postman/women are all losing money thru these strikes which should show how inportant this is..after all if we were all about money surely we wouldnt want to strike????
