To think Royal Mail workers should not be striking

796 replies

Hitthehighseastoday · 27/11/2022 00:55

They’ve already been offered a 9% pay raise and declined. Royal Mail is already making a loss. It’s a national service for the public which is now being severely disrupted by strikes, it’s appalling.

I agree that the forced Sundays shouldn’t be happening and neither should working at night in the dark out alone.

Am I not allowed an opinion though?

Yeah, boy you're not allowed to call "bully"
Because people think your wrong!

You also can't pull I'm nice because

I came from a working class family
I was in the care system

Getting back to the postal workers strike and the extra knowledge you have, what's your view?

KarmaStar · 27/11/2022 21:58

Before anyone agrees with this post please look at the t&c the post office workers are being presented with.
It's a complete disgrace and I back them all the way.

This cannot be real! 😆 I thought lawyers were supposed to be intellectuals!?

Conkersareback · 27/11/2022 22:01

@Hitthehighseastoday wait you didn't! answer with stuff that was an answer to the questions I asked

Italiandreams · 27/11/2022 22:02

So you agree their working conditions shouldn’t be changing? That is why they are on strike!

Mamabear197 · 27/11/2022 22:04

I don’t agree with the OP’s points of view but the way you lot have treated a care leaver on this thread is appalling, I have no words for it. We should be supporting care leavers, we have no idea what trauma this OP lived through and suffered in her childhood. For all you know, you could have made it way worse for her. Care leavers and people who have suffered trauma need kindness, love and care not the behaviour that the OP has been subjected to on this thread. Like I say I don’t agree with the OP’s view point but she has been treated appallingly by you all, the way you have treated her is no way to treat a care leaver.

Are you a care-leaver?

Which is what the 9% pay rise says they have to agree with or they would not get it!'

Dear god! If this is the "skilled" labour and they think the unskilled should be looked down on! Then god help us!

Please let me know the company you're partner at OP, so I never fucking use you!

No I’m not but I have worked with many young people who are in foster care.

The OP is a partner in a law firm, I think their ok with others putting their point across on a subject.

I wouldn’t name the firm on here incase it’s identifying. I don’t look down on unskilled workers though!

That gem was disclosed 28 mins ago.....

Being a care leaver doesn't give you the right to
be unreasonable

Stillbrokenby2022 · 27/11/2022 22:12

I fail to see what anyone has said that could possibly bring up trama anyway.

So how about apologising to her then for your previous behaviour towards her now that she’s informed you about her background? I would suggest everyone on the thread who treated the OP appallingly does this.

Conkersareback · 27/11/2022 22:13

@Mamabear197 I'd advise that a care level had more compassion to workers.

God help any troubled young person who ends working with you or any care leaver who ends up working with you then. You should be apologising to the OP for your behaviour now you know she’s a care leaver and likely suffered trauma in her childhood but no instead you are being self centred and attempting to justify treating a care leaver appallingly.

Literally no-one has said they think unskilled workers should be looked down on. Stop making shit up.

And yet again you continue ad hominem attacks.

She’s already told you that she “respects and has compassion for people of all backgrounds”.

Yeah, you're on the wind-up...

Mamabear197 · 27/11/2022 22:16

OP I’m so sorry for how people on this thread have treated you. Not everyone in life will treat you appallingly I promise, lots of us in this world are kind people, I hope you’re ok?
