Did industrial action have any impact on Royal Mail's business? the answer is NO! and Royal Mail has welcomed SKY TV MAG back to 2nd class from TNT's DSA.

A lot of email and texting has replaced telephone calls and not hand written letters. Hand written letters are in decline and have been for the last 25 years or so, long before email and texts.

The industrial action at Royal Mail in 2009 is not about PAY, its about fair and managable workloads, its about receiving mail at a decent time of day so that mail can be dealt with in that same day and not a day late, its about having the same postman/woman on a regular basis who knows who their customers are and their needs.

Royal Mail don't want this type of workforce anymore, they want a casual, part time, non-caring, rotating workforce who haven't got a clue as to what customers require, this same type of high turn over workforce is repeated throughout TNT, DHL, CITY LINK and many others.

If this is what you the public want then carry on with the attack on industrial action and we'll go back to work and watch RM collapse in front of our eyes while the government and senior executives get golden handshakes. If not then back the fight to protect it!

Remember there is no competition except a forced unatural one and thats why its failing!
