I have to be careful what I write here but I can't hold in my thoughts anymore.
I've been a postman now for 16 and a half years, serving the community I've worked in for over 10 of those years.
In this moment in time, us posties are in the biggest fight of our lives. Our terms and conditions aswell as the "postle worker" you know today is under threat.
It's under threat because of the greed above. They say we need to change, they say we need to compete, they say people no longer send mail and they also say we need to be more like "amazon" or other parcel couriers. If this is true, the positive role I've pride myself on over these years will no longer exist !
Let me explain. I'm not just a guy who walks up and down the street delivering "junk mail" and parcels.
I'm that guy who know everyone of his customers, I'm that guy who knows when something ain't right in the community I work in, I'm that guy who spends time with customers when they have no-one else to talk to, to help when no-one is around to help. If there's bits they need I can and will get. If there's a pet that's got out, I know the home it belongs too. I kind of see myself more as a community warden lol than a postman. A guy that cares soo diligently about the job and role I deliver.
We're not just another courier company, we're far more than that and we'll fight to save that vital
role we provide.
