My postman is not delivering mails today

130,000 postal workers went on strike today - over pay and potential job cuts.
The postal workers union rejected a 2.5% pay increment and instead, wanted a pay increment pegged to the national average for the past 5 years - equivalent to a 27% increment. They are also against modernisation plans put forth which will reduce their headcount by a further 40,000.

There are rumors that Tube workers wanting similar pay increment and threatening to go on strike.

Think I also need to go on a holiday - let's hope our good workers in Singapore don't go on strike when I am back ...
