What is the real reason behind the UK postal strike?

The Royal Mail have been turned into nothing more than hard copy spam merchants thanks to EU rules, namely the EU directive Privatisation of Postal Services.
These regulations established the Royal Mail as the universal service provider within Britain which obliges it to deliver throughout the country, regardless of whether it is profitable. Meanwhile the competition are able to slice off the profitable sections leaving the RM in financial difficulty and unable to compete.
It is another example of how far Labour have sold this country down the river, and handed over power to unelected bureaucrats in Brussels. The Royal Mail is doomed as it will never become profitable, it’s hands are tied.
All the postal workers are doing is bringing their own demise a little bit further along the line as they seek pay increases that are not sustainable.
Nice one Labour!
