Customers are being urged to desert Royal Mail as they face a catastrophic national strike, and many big internet retailers already plan to switch, the Daily Mail reports.

The decision by postal workers yesterday to take industrial action will heap misery on both families and businesses with Christmas approaching.

Energy companies and banks are already encouraging customers to sign up for online accounts.

Leading internet retailers such as Play.com, Amazon, Tesco Direct and Argos are drawing up plans to switch to rival companies to ensure millions of Christmas presents arrive on time. Many more companies will look at electronic systems to avoid invoices and cheques being trapped in deserted sorting offices.

According to the Guardian, also eBay are considering abandoning Royal Mail.

The Communication Workers Union have yet to decide strike dates, but the first victims could include parents applying for secondary school places for 600,000 children. The greetings card industry is also facing a Christmas disaster.

Hopefully, if Royal Mail lose all their big clients, it will send them a strong message: if you cannot provide a proper service, you’ll go bankrupt. And it will also send a strong message to the Government who have been idiotic enough to draft laws that allow people to refuse to do their jobs. As for trade unions, those should be shut down as criminal organisations and the leaders who incite people not to do their jobs should be jailed indefinitely as dangers to the society.
