It's not going to end well is it? Competition, alternatives, alienation of customers, diminishing sales. Royal Mail wins bid to halt Christmas postal strikes www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-50409317 |

Our local sorting office are looking to recruit football hooligans.
There's a sign outside saying 'Casuals Wanted'.

I’m not sure anyone would notice if the Sandbach postal workers did go on strike 😁

A 97% strike vote on a 76% turnout no longer deemed good enough to strike.
I thought respecting democracy was the be all and end all for some on here?

Poor MoMo, you only like judges when they give a verdict you like don't you. You were loving them every time they ruled against the Tories! Old Jezza's mates have failed to stop Tory postal vote's. These judge's are a bunch a cunt's if they don't agree with MoMo. Your morals are laughable. |

Yet more aftermath of ill conceived decisions that Cameron made.
Loved the quip about nobodies reading his book, cause we’re all too busy clearing up the $#!t that he’s written about in his book...

A 97% strike vote on a 76% turnout no longer deemed good enough to strike. I thought respecting democracy was the be all and end all for some on here? I think it was the following process that caused concern. "This included, the company said, union members "being encouraged to open their ballot papers on site, mark them as 'yes', with their colleagues present and filming or photographing them doing so, before posting their ballots together at their workplace postboxes". Royal Mail said this amounted to a "de facto workplace ballot", contrary to rules on industrial action, to maximise the turnout and the "yes" vote." The worry was that it might be intimidating to postal workers. |

But if the Union had stuck to the rules and had a postal ballot the company wouldn’t of had a leg to stand on And the workers would of had the right to withdraw there labour Lions lead by sheep comes to mind |

I find it difficult to believe that in the current circumstances that Royal Mail as a business finds itself in that the employees are hell bent on a prolonged strike which is going to ensure that customers find alternatives to Royal Mail. A business which is already under severe commercial pressure. Of course you may be absolutely correct that no one made a official complaint. Let's hope the complaints process did not have to be made in writing in front of other colleagues present with filming taking place  |

“The Electoral Reform Services who conducted the ballot confirmed it was run in full accordance of the law, and after over seven weeks since the ballot commenced, not one single person has complained... Yet despite all of this - with no evidence supporting their claim from any employee - Royal Mail can come to this court in what is a cowardly and vicious attack on its own workforce.”
After Brexit it will basically be impossible to strike.
Just what the hard right ERG pulling the strings in the Tory Party want.
Singapore on Thames.

Yet here you're telling us the Tories will be in power & remove all workers rights yadda yadda. Which is it? Are the Tories finished & we're going have years of Labour, or is Jezza useless & we're going have years of Tory rule? |

You can’t have the moral high ground when a vote you do believe in is not honoured. Not honouring Brexit is one of the most anti democratic events to happen In This country for years. Some of these fuckers will pay on Dec 13 It has ramifications for the political classes for a long time. |

I assume she's forgotten that Obama interfered just short of campaigning in the referendum and the lovely Ms Pelosi hasn't held back either. I've no idea why the BBC haven't questioned the irony about Americans babbling on about Russian interference. |

America and Russia will definitely both be actively influencing our politics (and each others'), occasionally in the same direction.
