Post to be hit with more strikes

Once again it would appear that the postal delivery system is going to be disrupted by a series of strikes. But this time it is the managers who are flexing their defiant muscles; in fact they are probably the same managers who rolled up their sleeves when the ordinary workers went on strike. What message does that send out to the staff and customers?

Despite all of the worries about the post, businesses still uses the post for mailing to customers, yet every time that there is some sort of dispute, it must make business managers look around to see what sort of alternatives there are.

If talks fail today, then we can expect to see two 48 hour strikes, which it is believed will involve around 130,000 workers.
