This campaign is a campaign that Tom woodcock who is the secretary of the cambridge and districts trades union council. He campaigned that people who campaigned to support postal workers on strike. They collected over £300 for the strike fund and distributed 300 leaflets explaining the dispute.

Here is a picture of Tom and his friends campaigning for the postal strikers.

I don't agree with this campaign because i believe that workers should not be payed to not go to work. I believe that if you are not happy with the amount of money you are receiving from your job so much that you are not going to work, then you should either find another job or go to your work and try to campaign instead of going on strike. By going on strike you are not only affecting yourself but you are also effecting other people that are meant to be receiving either letters or packaging.

However on the other hand they are not getting enough money and the Government are cutting their pensions as well . I now can understand why they are on strike but i don't believe that that is the best solution to their problems. Steve Sweeney, Secretary of the Cambridge & Stevenage postal workers support group added " The post office has become a key battle for all those who think ordinary people should not be made to pay for the bankers crisis.
