    Is allowing direct pick ups going around? They would still be the sole postal delivery service?

    Should the government be able to enter into such a contract with such restrictions that can inhibit their obligations, even in non strike situations?

    I think it’s a legal question worth getting answered.

      If the postal service is saying no deliveries until the strike ends and they are housing the packages at a non public place then no, that’s a delivery if they manage and facilitate the receiving of the goods.

      Yes the government should be able to, it’s how business is done. We agree a price on the grounds that we will not have to compete for the business for x number of years. As for should the government be interfering, I’m sure they would in some backwards countries but strong unions exist for the people. A government that facilitates strong unions would know not to.
