I can’t believe all of this strike stuff is still happening at the Royal Mail. It looks like no one is backing down here and chaos is sure to follow.

What I have read though is that Royal Mail are taking on 30,000 extra temps to cover seasonal rush and backlog of work! What this makes me wonder is, are the jobs at Royal Mail at risk if they carry on like this?

TNT, the UK’s largest privately owned mail firm is apparently looking to be allowed to put its postal workers on the streets if the strikes do happen! Is this not a warning for Ryoal Mail – someone is there and more than ready to takes it place?

What do you think of all this?

Im not sure they realise the impact of all of this? How long will it be before priovate companies take over and there is no royal mail?
