The PO has asked people not to post anything over the strike period to avoid backlogs.
They process so many letters, so quickly that when the system stops, the backlogs
quickly get massive. Every time there is a backlog, the PO gets fines, even when there
is a strike. No doubt they are under a lot of pressure from the union.
On the whole the PO doesn't mind too much if the public don't send letters anyway. Public
letters are very much a low profit area for the PO, which is why they have almost no
competition for public letters.
