£100.....

[L8Hatter]

Is the £100 for all delivery staff? Noticed an extra wage slip going out to the posties who live on my round and assumed this was probably it. But when I got home, there was none

Been here for over two years now. 25 hour contract so it won't be much, but a little extra to piss away is always welcome

[Patrick Clifton]

Facts are you get £100 for full time pro rata for part time for nothing. From Christmas 2013 you will get £200 christmas bonus on a permanent basis pro rata for part time.

All current bonuses PBS , ICS , time bonus are protected and the new scheme will be devloped in the phase 3 talks which will staff will have a an opportunity to vote on.

What are these and who do they relate to?

It wasn't an extra payslip - it was a pension communication. As to if you'll get it or not - I don't think anyone knows yet as it has not been announced officially and well have to wit till it is to get the nitty gritty.

So why am i still paying into the union? I could save myself £3.33 a week and still get the bonus that the cwu negotiate. Non union members will be getting the £100, plus an extra £173 a year more than people who have paid into the union. So as a paying union member I will get £100 a year more but as a non union member I will be getting and extra £273 a year.

Yes, I agree and this is why I pay into the union but my point is why should non union members get the same as union members? They don't pay anything into the union but get all the benefits. It feels like I am giving them some of my own hard earnt money.

Your paying for the added `benefit` that if Royal Mails decides to sack you for jack s**t your union will represent you....hang on a minute

[Martin Walsh]

years ago the Post office was a closed shop and you had to belong to the union. Another anti trade union law was bought in which made belonging to a trade union as voluntary.

Whist 85% of people are in the CWU higher in urban areas , some choose not too. It is now voluntary and they do not get the same benefits or drawbacks the only two difference is that they do not either have a vote or the protection of a union or do they get a say in any change in what either the union or Royal Mail choose to do. Oh and they get all this for not paying the price of a pint a week in a pub.

The majority of Indivduals who are repsresented by a union rep at a dismissal stage of the attendance procedure do not get dismissed at a first RTUS and at a appeal hearing very few non members are successful when appealing against dismissal.

I would be rich if I had a pound for every non member who gets in touch when they are trouble asking for union help.

[The wanderer]

There are loads of people at our place that are not in the Union.

There is a sort of culture that you only join the Union when you in trouble and then leave when the problem is resolved and spend the rest of the time slagging the Union off.

I can honestly say I have never met so many selfish people in one place in my life, it's an RDC not a delivery office.

It's funny watching these people who are not in the union approaching union reps and demanding advice or help and then slagging the union off when they feel not enough is being done for them.

I really admire proper union reps, not reps who are just in it to get a cushy number and pally up with the bosses, there are reps like this I have met a few.

The price of membership really is fk all and what people tend to forget is the union is only as strong as its members.

Jesus there are people in other countries who are murdered for belonging to a trade union.

The union is still a good thing IMO and should be supported.

[dvbuk55]

I do criticise the union and quite rightly so because the representation in recent years has been very poor and IMHO the union has taken a wrong turn and takes the membership for granted BUT after all said and done I still think it is right to be a supporter of the union - though that doesn't extend to kissing ass.
