They really are retards...they've not won a national strike in nearly 50 years and the amount of money they are wasting on this bum gravy would surely better be spent elsewhere?
I sent the Courior back with a refused sticker on and RM sent me a letter asking why I didn't want it and I said it was full of Propaganda and I haven't had any Couriors or other propaganda in the post for the last 5 years

Will be doing the same thing when the next one comes. Sick of them.

i dont give a sh!t about how much they invest, thats not really helping us - it makes the business more efficient so its all well and good but dont tell us like youre doing us a favour, whilst holding us to ransom about even a inflation linked wage increase. Cut the bullying of people who just want to work their paid hours and not have to worry about RM cutting hours out of the business and putting it all on already overworked postmen.

yet more rubbish today but this time it isn't even a coherent sentence; "Right now retailers thinking about delivery company for Christmas."

yeah and the one theyll decide on will be how they always go about it - price... in the end they`ll just blame the delivery companies if a customer complains about waiting for a package anyway.

The address side was the same, the 'postcard picture' side was different! I filed them straight into the recycling.
RMTV today was more propaganda so I just surfed Facebook on my phone instead! The only things I'm interested in at anymore are my start and finish time and that my wages are in the bank on a Friday!! Oh yeah...... and that I vote yes to strike action when we get balloted

Tomorrow's PDA message:

An anonymous zoo keeper said if we strike he will have no choice but to send his panda bears via email in future!

Best pay,best job,best pension

No fight to pick blah blah blah

Total joke then when you add in today's WTL video.

We have great holidays in a Canadian accent and that condescending guy in the suit saying the union is making all this stuff up and we are so honest whilst his pockets are bulging with £50 notes from our pensions.....

I think they really are pushing the wrong buttons

the onslaught continues

probably end of the week,

the "80,000 employees who took part in the BIG CONVERSATION (you know the ones rm made up and pinned all there new and improved ideas on ...) will work 7 duties in a single day to cover any strike action, they'll probably fearmonger that if you strike you will get no pay then try the how will you feed your family and support all of your other commitments.........

so we have a chemist , solicitor and now a publisher who remains to be anonymous ...........

this is borderline harassment we need to consult the union and threaten legal action as the propaganda onslaught is demoralizing and is effecting the mental health of staff.

If we all voted NO then Royal Mail will change our working hours, with loads of redundancies so that they can introduce a longer outdoor span. Maybe it will happen anyway, but with the Union, things will be agreed and they will be fair i.e. the Union want a shorter working week for it. Its really Royal Mail who should have 'no fight to pick' with us but believe me they are very determined to change our working lives for the worse....
Are we sure Bertieboy wasn't maybe being just a tad sarcastic? That's the way I read it.
Well done Gaz. It seems irony/humour is lost on here

Actually, the irony of all this is the fact that some posties will still go in and work their shift even if there is a National Strike. It happened at our place when we have had strikes before and all they say is "I can't afford to lose a day's pay" and it does annoy me because whilst some of us lost money fighting for what we have got - they haven't as they don't belong in the Union and they have not lost out financially whilst still taking the better pay rises and terms and cons that the Union has agreed plus the Unions Xmas bonus

So when I read the comments I didn't immediately pick up on sarcasm but the fact that every postie is in for themselves.

Got so much s**t through the door from RM not wanting us to strike, if they put all that money to good use we might have seen a decent pay rise..

100% correct, as long as the ballot is legal Non-Union members have the same protection as members do. In fact, it would be illegal for RM to treat either section differently than the other.
