Discussing this with my postman this morning. The interesting figures were that 72% in his branch did not want to strike, but 66% voted to strike. As they see it, they have no other way of getting the management to talk.

His solution is to start redundancies at the top - 100% of the top 5 tiers of management.

Sure, the technically literate can use other communication methods, but for many the universal mail service is the only practical choice. In common with many others, I get the results of my regular blood tests by 1st Class mail the morning after the test - postage 38 pence. Let's see DHL beat that!
