    Decent pay and conditions????? Try being a nursery nurse!!! We couldn't strike though!!!


    Again I repeat, so you can't therefore no-one should.

    Interesting that this message board is about beating the system (bank charges etc.) yet when it involves any personal inconvenience it's criticised.

    Such arrogance!

    Tell that to my 10 year old who lost her congrautlation card with a £10 for doing well on her SATS! Never mind let the kiddies, the elderly and the housebound suffer!

    So because of your daughter you believe there should be 40000 job cuts?

    Such selfishness!

    With the compassion you have shown for the vunerable in this topic you deserve everything you get.

    How funny, I don't work for the post office I teach children with special needs, but that doesn't stop me having empathy.

    Try it.

    People get sacked or made redundant every day... why should the royal mail workers get special treatment? They'll be replaced by robots soon enough anyway.

    They shouldn't get special treatment, I would stand up for anyone facing job cuts but then I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees.
