Buy your stamps and send your mail. Our post man in our very rural area is, like so many, a real lifeline to us. It is his, and people like him, job that is at risk. The talks so far have been open and constructive with a pay deal on the table. The problem is that with the pay increase offered they will have to take a real cut in their pensions and they jobs they do will change from day to day and they could end up being phoned up at home in the evening to be told what they are doing the next day! That is crazy and no way to run a business. The bosses call this modernisation but to an onlooker on the side lines it looks like a step backwards! CWU is trying to get the best deal all round and save the post office as well. Let's support our posties.
