One acknowledges that modern life is expensive, nevertheless people need money for various stuff and not every man earns big sums cash. Therefore to receive fast mortgage loans or just small business loan would be a correct way out.

I suggest, you know, obviously, maybe they ought to be removed,” Grassley said. “But I would suggest the first thing that would make me feel a little bit better toward them if they’d follow the Japanese example and come before the American people and take that deep bow and say, I’m sorry, and then either do one of two things: resign or go commit suicide.

I must ask anyone leaving a reply on this post to let us know what you do for a living and tell us what you earn its only fair we know.
Post Office workers are not very well paid compared with some empolyments out side. I am a tube driver rate of pay around 40k at this time the avarage Train Driver today is on 38k in this country.
I feel that if the union members voted to strike its because they feel the need to safe guard their wages and conditions. They pay their trade union to try to look after conditions at work it seems to me that the the union is doing all they can at this time.
Soon if we are not careful working classes / middle classes wont be able to have a job at all if we keep on modernising everything. We will loose so many jobs to modern equipment and robots.
I hope its not you reading this that gets told one day that you wont be needed anymore thank you, a machine is doing your job.
I say Stick together and do all you can to achieve your aspirations.
And good luck to you the post office workers.

We have already decided that we will not send out cards this Christmas except to the few children in the family. They will enjoy them that much more (if the arrive) and we will be trying to phone all our friends on Christmas Day or Boxing Day if possible. Hope BT’s up to the likely increase in business!

The post office has a real chance if modernised. But the dinosaurs want to make it extinct!

Dave Ward earns a good salary, lives in luxuary and yet is happy to send his fellow workers to their doom.

Dave Ward is a disgrace. A relic of a previous age. A dinosaur. A man desperate to strike and impose his Communist tendencies. I hope those workers who are sacked turn up on his doorstep as companies take their business to competitors.

Don’t count all post officers in the same boat. I voted no. Only a little over 50% voted yes and yet we are called on strike. Many of us cant stand the thought of striking but what do we do?
