Lets put this in some perspective before the Tory trolls surface. Rm came out and said there is NO money for a pay rise..??? If the Government can find one billion pounds to cover the cost of settling the Great Post Office Scandal, they can damn well afford the relatively trifling amount to give Post Office workers an inflation pay rise.

Tories, “We are working towards making the U.K. a high wage economy”. Workers, “Can we have an inflation pay award that allows our real earnings to stand still?”. Tories, “Bolt”.

Malinga the Swinga Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) Years ago a postal strike would have been a major event. Now, who gives a toss. It's not exactly a skilled job that takes years to learn. These days, it's an extremely limited of mail that is vital, other companies will pick up slack so if workers want to strike, it's up to them. As for bosses pay, seems excessively high but I have no idea what his responsibilities are, whether he has delivered his targets or whether he is a far cat with his nose in the trough.

But I was wrong, we all deserve more, every last one of us on the lower rungs. There's no reason anyone in this country should be living in poverty, we should all have comfortable lives. The fact that we don't is a choice from those in power. The workers are right to fight for their income and standard of living against an establishment that uses as all. How about this year those ***** make a loss for a change, how about no dividends or payrises at the top for 10 years instead of austerity for us.

There have been quite a few notable occasions locally where their caring attitude has saved lives. Many also kept an eye out for the elderly and the infirm and during COVID, all sorts of fantastic gestures were regularly undertaken by posties. Whether you are a rail worker, a nurse or a postie, we all work hard and should not have to endure real terms pay cuts. If employers feel that they can relentlessly inflict that on their staff without repercussions, they really are deluded. The worm is finally turning and the workers in this country have had enough.

Cade Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 BT staff to go on strike too. BT’s chief executive Philip Jansen, who received a 32%pay rise last year to £3.5m due to bonuses and share awards, has said the company cannot afford to sweeten its staff deal. BT made almost £2bn in profits for the year to the end of March, with shareholders receiving £700m in dividends. Ward also accused BT and other telecom companies of profiteering by putting up prices for consumers by up to 10% earlier this year at a time when inflation was about 5% – it has since risen to 9.1%.

jamboy1982 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I think society is at a massive point here. Capitalism has reached the tipping point. The greed for more and more money is pushing the workers to the limit and beyond. The sheer gall and openness with how these evil companies are operating is being laid bare for all to see. How the workers and the general public respond will set the path for how we continue as a society. Capitalism can never succeed forever as those at the top can never be satisfied.

Good luck! Maybe the government can't afford the cost of settling the scandal but they hopefully will still have to settle it. These Post Office staff and sub-postmasters have been treated absolutely disgracefully by the Post Office and failed by Labour, Conservative and Lib-Dem politicians and, at the absolute least, they deserve to br compensated regardless of how much it costs the government or the taxpayer.
