No money?

Post by Wild Rover »

I missed todays team talk. Was out lapsing :no no

Was told Royal Mail have no money. Walk sequence machines too expensive. No pay rise related to agreement until 2011. Revision to go ahead as planned even though there will be another one next year too :crazy:

My CWU rep is useless (and is never about) - so what is going on?

It's the first I've heard of this. But as far as I'm aware, the agreement is basically a contract. So if RM refuse to give the agreed pay rises, they would be in breach of contract, and we could take them to Court. Although I'm not 100% sure of that. Hopefully, someone else will be able to tell us if I'm right about this.

The Government will not give Royal Mail Money anymore, if the Government is cutting private sector jobs such as the police they will not give Royal Mail money, Labour bailed them out to often remember the CONSIGNIA.

Bullshit,there is a 3 year deal,there is money in the bank for the equipement,a company this size would not do a deal that they couldn't afford.
The 2010 agreement will also save RM hundreds of millions a year.
R/M savings over the 3 year period will be £600 million the CWU says it's more to the £800 million mark
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Of course they can't pull the loan back,it's pratically spent.
Actually if i rem right we were mentioned during the cuts and we were being left alone.Must be in the news forum somewhere.
EDIT:Just remembered,that was the Post Office investment,but still a loan is a loan.

The difference being - the police don't have whatnots. (Not even in London)

They could save 5 million overnight. Get rid of the top tier management. They know f-ck all about the business and are letchers/hangers on.

I hope thats what they do for us Maiden, because more indoor work means less outdoor. Work your hours, no more, no less and then see what this DOM does when he has loads of cut offs to manage.
