Default Arrg! Minimig delayed due to labor disputes?
48 Hour Postal Strike in the UK

Understandably minimig's were delayed for a while when Xenepp fell ill for many days. Could this latest developement delay things even more? Grrr.

Yes thats right, the workers are striking because the company doesn't make enough money

When I were a lad if a job didn't pay enough to your satisfaction you got a different job...

You certainly didn't hold most of the small businesses in the country to ransom like is happening at the moment. It's not the Royal Mail who are suffering, it's the people who rely on them.

In this case though it's not actually pay that's the main problem, it's that the Royal Mail workers think they're working on a pay-per-task basis, whereas the directors think they're working on a pay-per-hour basis like everybody else in the country.
