Self harming

I'd always thought that self harming was a thing people did on their own. Probably in private. It would appear that this is not the case...

Have a look here.

Royal Mail postal workers have voted to take strike action over job security and working conditions.

They voted three to one in favour of action, with 61,623 out of a total of 80,830 workers who voted saying they wanted to strike.

Now, given this is a service for which there are alternatives, does this strike you as a good idea? I mean, really?

Given that..
The company says the number of letters and parcels its core business delivers is falling by 10% each year
Do they really think that striking will in any way improve things? Have the regional strikes done anything but loose things (like, say, birthday things sent to Canada)?

Nope. Every strike will bleed the industry a little more.

Muppets.

you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink!

It is a shame they cannot see the harm it will do to the business - All of this is motivated by greed!

How could you send a birthday card for 30p?
