That the Parliament praises what it sees as the exceptional dedication of Scotland’s postal workers and delivery drivers; understands that Christmas is reportedly the busiest time of the year for Royal Mail, with the number of parcels and letters roughly doubling during this period due to the surge in online shopping and people sending personalised Christmas cards; recognises the long hours and hard work that goes into the job, especially during the colder months; acknowledges the additional challenges for postal workers and delivery drivers in rural communities as they aim to deliver the same timely and professional service that is expected in urban areas; acknowledges the increasing pressures on staff as a result of major changes to postal deliveries by Royal Mail and the need to ensure that the wellbeing of the country's posties and delivery drivers is prioritised, and wishes all staff at Royal Mail well for the Christmas period and beyond.
