Postal unions’ own goal

sir – We regularly buy stationary from a moderately sized online retailer, which always arrives by post.

However, a recent communication from the company informed us that it will no longer be using Royal Mail because it is too expensive and too unreliable, and will instead be using a courier firm. I wonder how many other companies will be doing the same.

Do the postal unions not realise that, far from defending workers’ rights, they are actively destroying their members’ livelihoods?
