Postal strike
Sir,—l am disgusted at these people who go on strike. They have an argument with management, but are punishing the public. As usual we, the public, have to suffer through lack of services, yet it is we who pay the wages indirectly with higher postage, telephone rentals, etc. How would they like to be kept waiting a fortnight or so to hear some news? Just imagine children waiting for a birthday card, or people waiting for cards or letters for births, deaths or birthdays; especially older folks, who cannot get around, waiting to hear from loved ones. At least the strikers have a job; perhaps they do not want it very much. Stop and think before taking any more action, please (but do it on your own time). — Yours, etc., B. KNIGHT. July 23, 1986.
