united kingdoms post office workforce took there rally to the doorsteps of parliament in a conditions and pay dispute that has the public sector workers across many trades facing unacceptable changes to contracted hours and wage cuts , speaking to a postal worker ) ( Gary at Royal Mail’s Clifton Road said, “They want to turn Royal Mail into a parcel
only, gig economy company. We are also out for pay. Pay is
not where it needs to be with inflation. The real thing is the
terms and conditions. The postie on the street that serves the
community will be totally gone and it will be the end of the
service.
“They want to shift the start times and get rid of the morning
delivery. Postie used to start at 5 or 6 o’clock in the morning,
we probably won’t be starting till nearly 9 or 10am.”
Sophie said, “If we are starting later schools and businesses
won’t be getting mail until the afternoon. It will be working in
the hottest hours in the summer and in the pitch black in the
winter by working later. Then you have postal workers who
won’t be able to pick up the kids from school. There’s so much
knock-on effect. People will leave the company.”
Regarding suggestions from Ward that the union would be
prepared to accept a 9 percent pay deal, Gary said, “No way.
That’s what’s been offered but it still comes nowhere near

where we need to be.” )
