Unfortunately (As a sort of insider X BT ) the Postal side always had much worse employee relations.
Part of which was caused the very "antagonistic" IB or SD like the US postal Inspectors.
There was a bit guilty by suspicion tendency that went on and I suspect some of this culture was embedded in the organisation.
Certainly having yourself or your staff investigated by SD was considered very stressful even after the "bad old days"

The delivery services part of the Post Office (Royal Mail) was separately privatised in 2013; but the retail post office business (Post Office Ltd) remains under full government ownership, albeit most of the individual post offices are privately run by franchisees – and it was these franchisees who were being prosecuted IB = Investigation Branch – https://www.postalmuseum.org/blog/the-post-office-investigation-branch/ https://www.postalmuseum.org/blog/the-post-office-investigat...
