“ have us all working 9 to 5 if not.later” - this has been RM plans for years
We’re not far off that. 8-4 (4.30 on Wednesdays), 3.00 on Saturday.
We're already finishing at 5.15pm on Wednesdays.

Everything is fine. If you’re feeling more exhausted than you’ve ever felt in your life from this new model then don’t fret, Walsh is here with another reality denying LTB. If you’re looking around your office and seeing failed duty’s and staff at breaking point do not panic, it’s all addressed in the LTB. Don’t believe your body or your lying eyes. Put your trust in Walsh and Ward. They are the bastions of truth and if you disagree with their wisdom then your just some sort of keyboard warrior or social media trouble maker.
I’m doing 7000 more steps and I’m absolutely f****d at the end of a shift but I know I must be tricking myself as Walsh has the hard data, I’m just a pleb to be stomped on by management and CWU alike.
Totally Agree mate they both need to spend a week at offices observing the ridiculous workloads and watch the totally inefficient way we have to work come into the yard and watch us cram the work into our now inadequate vans
how delusional can they be

Then what happens if RM attempt to discipline you n spurious grounds and you've no union to support you?

If we all left the union how long would it take RM to move to a self employed model like EVRi etc?

Whilst DM26 is bad RM's ODM would have been far worse, they'd probably also have us all working 9 to 5 if not.later.
Just because something would have been worse doesn't mean we should be grateful for something that's awful.

Who said anybody should be grateful? Don't forget more CWU members voted Yes than No for DM26 it always seemed mad to vote for more work on the same rate of pay.

Not all CWU members work on delivery.
I voted no: Not because of DM26, because I knew that would be pushed through anyhow, but because the pay equalisation should have happened straight away and not be put back until Jan.

This is the CWUs play every time. You can have this s**t or you can have this s**t. Say yes to our s**t because the other s**t is even shiitier. Either way, we still get s**t.

Let’s see a list of the offices where it is a huge success then. Let’s see the people in the areas saying how great the service is.There seems to be lots of back slapping without any proof.
