Over the last few days there have been rumours and the odd front page press story, telling us Royal Mail, could still be looking to take strike action on the run up to Christmas. Now because the CWU, did not cancel everything, the only need to give Royal Mail 7 days notice to carry out any strikes.

As we all know Christmas is the peak time for Royal Mail, and they know this, and to be honest can use this to their advantage, but will they. That is anyone guess. If they do strike people will lose total support for them as gifts and cars being sent will not be received, there will be thousands of sad children on Christmas day as presents are cards will not be there, all because Royal Mail let them down. And for some families the presents they ordered from Amazon and ,in good faith were let down by Royal Mail and sadly they cannot just go out and buy another present.

As for sellers a lot will ditch royal mail for other companies who will deliver on time, who offer real tracking of items, who care about the clients who send and receive. And just my thoughts ……………………. if Royal Mail do strike,and companies move elsewhere, those who strike will be without any job, for the Royal Mail as we know it will be gone.

Please Royal Mail do not strike, think ahead and look to a bright future and work with all sides and everyone will have a happy Christmas.
