The postal service should be just that, a service. All the problems, resulting in a strike, are a result of changes being implemented as a result of a profit motive.

The hospitals, police and fire service provide a good service without the need to make money, so why can't we have a postal service in a similar vein.

We already have closures of rural post offices, which provide the heartbeat in many villages because they lose money, but they do provide a valuable service, and you can't put a price on that.
