This sort of thing makes my blood boil my husband has been a postie for over 20 yrs & has always done his job to the best of his ability even to the point of digging his way through snow to try to get to work & to make sure people get their parcels or mail on time yet over the last few weeks he has been told his night time job ( he work's a split shift) has to be put up for others do with all these cut back's & trying to cut over time it is now on a rotor system so his money will drop over the weeks that he doesnt work on a night , the thing that maddens me about this is the ones that have put in for it dont live in this area , dont have any idea of his route & then told him " well what do you do when it snows" he told them you try your hardest to get through " they then said " oh well if it snows we will just say we cant get there " , he told them one night the weather was that bad & accidents on the A19 he didnt get home till midnight ,but at least he got the mail through but that is his job & he takes pride in it not like these young ones on short contracts who have no pride in anything. They need to know it is against the law to with hold Royal Mail & they should be prosecuted for it .Sorry to go on but it makes me angry when people have a go at the postmen when most of them do a good job but get all bunched together with those who do these sort of things .
