How exciting!!!!!

1st point is where is our 3-year pay deal as effective 1/4/2026 we all know the cost of living is going up. Is this deal tied to the DM 26 vote and where is the CWU on this?

2nd point, part timers that want to stay part time, where they going fit in this model since their doesnt seem to be part time walks? is their no way part timers can go up a couple of hours like 33 rather than full time hours as theres no way part timers can support this model on 25, 28 or 30 hours how can they support the 4 in 3?

It's got to be separate. The DM 26 only affects DOs and CSS operators in MCs, whilst the pay deal affects everyone.

A lot of people think all PT are getting FT - 6000 PT up to FT = average 5 per office!!

The pay deal and the DM26 are formally separate, but it is legitimate to question why it takes RM so long to finalise the pay deal.

theres no plan for part timers who dont want to move up where do the cwu see them fitting into this 4 in3 full time model
