Can't go by that Kolin. Average is 20k because theres people on stupidly high wages in the country that bring the average up.

why do people keep going on about them getting enough pay when the strikes arent even about pay 
its about Royal Mail wanting to automate sorting processes hence a lot of people lose there jobs
if you were told that, then told to 'deal with it' would that stop you striking? i doubt it
Like i said before i think automation is a musst for Royal Mail to keep up with competition, but if you look at it from there point of view, if striking may mean you keep your job they will do it, they have nothing to lose

What is the dispute about?
Essentially, it is over pay and potential job cuts.
The Communication Workers' Union (CWU) has rejected a 2.5% pay offer and warned that Royal Mail's modernisation plans will lead to 40,000 job losses.
Postal workers' pay should rise to the national average over the next five years, the union argues, but Royal Mail says this would amount to a 27% increase which it could not afford.

all of the news is going with the fact that it's about pay. The fact that the royal mail wants to use machines to do the processing seems to be minor

if they bring machines in then all the people getting the sack will get a payout. they are scum, if doctors or nurses walked out, people would die. you are unskilled, you are on par with the person who packs your bags at asda, infact less, they take care in there work, you loose letters, BRING ON THE REVOLUTION! BRING ON THE ROBOTS!!!!1
