Santa isn't going to make it to Scotland on time thanks to Royal Mail (and also thanks to US customs). The postal strike 23/24 December begins and has my full support for as long as it takes! 💥 🔥⚡️🎄

Posties confirm Christmas strikes after Royal Mail rejects calls for last ditch talks

Morning Star

I support the strikes! Full support to everyone on strike, recently and always.

Nurses, posties, rail workers are all fighting to protect vital services, to stop job cuts and pay cuts, and to begin to reverse the damage done by successive governments and profiteers. Their strike is our strike!

Great support for #RCNStrike picket at the Royal in #Liverpool today in v cold weather. Staff the NHS! #SaveOurNHS #NHSStrike #FairPayForNursing #StandByYourPostie #CWUStrike #RailStrikes #RMTstrikes

@mirrorpolitics of course he has. Sunak is hoping that if he ignores it all for long enough public opinion will turn against them. Sunak says he’s worried about the ordinary people, it’s the ordinary people who are on strike! #EnoughIsEnough #standbyyourpostie #SaveOurNHS #PayNursesFairly #RMTsolidarity

My Dad was a postie, for 37 years before he retired and cancer caught him.

It was way more than a job. There were some old folk on his round who'd only have contact with him.

He routinely checked in on them, changed lightbulbs, grabbed bits from the shops, collected post from those who couldn't get out.

I earned more as a 17yr old at Sainsburys than he did after 20yrs, paid a pittance but loved his job #StandByYourPostie #StandByYourPost

Postie: My message to the public

YouTube
Eight-hour shifts, to be completed in a Royal Mail vehicle, have been advertised on Ryde, a “last-mile” delivery business backed by venture capitalists. The in-app shift description on Ryde makes no mention of the fact that the available shifts are to break a strike by postal workers. #StandByYourPostie
Folks, I used to have a 'big job' but packed it in and became a postie. Love my job, but the senior mgt. are unbelievably crass. If you have a minute, have a look at the video from the bird site. #CWU #StandByYourPost
