The <em>World Socialist Web Site</em> (WSWS) is publishing the second of two batches of write-ins received from Royal Mail workers across the UK in response to an interview with a member of the Postal Workers Rank-and-File Committee.
Dave Ward’s opening statement set the tone and was aimed at blocking any challenge: “Once again we are having to deal with the reality of change… we cannot face away from that.”
The projected job cuts are part of a global war against postal and logistics workers as corporate boardrooms seize on new technology to reduce the workforce and slash costs.
“It is a toxic working environment and has unfortunately been this way for some time now. It seriously worries myself and my colleagues as to where we are heading.”
Ian said: “Dave Ward and the CWU Postal Executive signed us up for the gig-economy at Royal Mail and totally sold us down the river. It is like putting Dracula in charge of the blood bank.”
