Bringing well needed modernisation methods and technologies to disrupt an outdated and costly business model and delivering far better customer experience at the same time?
Sounds good. The postal service has held back on modernising far too long.
Robbing employees of their status as such, taking away their sick and vacation pay just to make more money, and then trying to spin it as “modernisation” is exactly the kind of cynical, greedy practice that privatisation introduces to important national infrastructure. It’s wrong and the people of this country aren’t willing to stand for it anymore.
So they offer more unsociable hours. More weekends. Less overtime. Less stable rostering and a real terms pay cut. I wonder why that’s not been accepted.
If your competitors are allowed to make their employees “self employed contractors” (no sick pay, no holidays, lower wages, etc…) and you are not, your business is fucked.
Option 1 – everyone grimly races to the bottom.
Option 2 – this kind of shitty gig work is outlawed and companies legally forced to treat their employees as such.
(I think we all know where Tory Britain is aimed.)
