Royal Mail

We in Peterborough have had no mail delivered over the past two days, now I do have some sympathy with the postmen, they have to work like mad men, looking at the present system of delivery, so to start with lets look at the beginning, take the bikes off the postmen on the grounds of health and safety then give two of them a little van and a trolley to assist the postmen not having to carry the mail, now for a start the trolleys kept having a wheel or wheels falling of, great so what happens next, the postmen walk and carry the bags not one but two so where are health and safety at this point, nothing done so we have many postmen who will without a doubt have leg, hip and acute back pain, so you have to say that having a bike that carries the bag/bags so no stress on the body but here we have a management that seem to have no idea as to how to manage anything, this is no doubt the reason that they managed to get to this point i.e. a walk out, the union are of no help the conveners found it  impossible to deal with the problem, so they have had to call a convener from their head office, what these union people need to do is to get the members back to work as soon as possible, it has to be remembered that there are a few companies out there  who would given half a chance steal a lot of the work the Royal Mail does now, so get back to work before it is to late !.
