    Just annoyance in the extreme! Most of my work comes in via e-mail and goes out the same way. They are killing their business. Madness!

    It seems that from a business point of view the workers are engineering their own job losses. BL in the 1970's comes to mind. I know several people who have used alternative companies because of the srikes but are now not going to return to Royal Mail.

    I run a medical practice - and yet again strike action is announced slap bang in the middle of sending out the flu invites for our flu clinics - 3 years in a row now the RM has had an impact through strike action on this.

    /end rant.

    yes, also up to my eyes in flu jabs and altho it hasn`t affected us i am livid with the post office [my dad was a postie] for being so stupid. flexible working is the way to go , if you are paid for 8 hours you should work 8 hours .
    they will lose their business soon.
