It is estimated that it would take 4,000 extra bodies to cover the overtime and good will we provide each day. Royal Mail have a team of 6,000 senior managers ready to travel the Country as flyimg strike breakers so the CWU and more importantly the members would have been left red-faced by the action if it went ahead!

So all in all the only way to hit Royal mail hard is to strike. This does not mean all out. It does not even mean all day. What about for example every delivery worker 'cutting off' 2 hours early for 4 days in a row?? This would lead to only one days lost pay for us and 100,000 cut-offs every day for 6,000 managers to deal with!!!

We could also do the same thing in Processing and Distribution with them walking out at dispatch times

At this point we must keep assuring the members that we are 100% committed to reaching a negotiated settlement and it is management driving us towards a strike!

Thanks

You have made things clearer, shame DW couldnt do that. We still have a new propaganda battle to deal with though from RM preaching the law of the land on IA ballots to our mmebers! We need to stop new propaganda not just simply deal with what we have already!

RM Solicitors contacted CWU solicitors regarding my office claiming we we're unlawfully working to rule.
After an intervention from HQ,CWU solicitors sent a reply back.
No further action to be taken!

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.

Tripping up on work to rule....

Post by deadbox »

A strike is always the better option.....

If you "work to rule" and someone within your office failed to follow the exact procedure down to the letter, the managers would have instructions to jump all over the postie....suspending them, which would leave no option but an unofficial walkout.....PLAYING INTO RMs HANDS.......!!!!!!

I have known of a mail centre dispute where a senior postman was selected to travel to the mail centre to collect mail ( and cross the picket line ) - knowing full well he would NOT CROSS A PICKET LINE.......on his return to the D.O. he was suspended for refusing an order......then the whole office was out in support.....THUS ROYAL MAIL DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY POSTIES DO DO NOTHING BECAUSE OF NO MAIL FROM THE MAIL CENTRE

SO BE CAREFUL......BUT DONT GIVE UP.......WERE NOT AS DUMB AS THE THINK WE ARE
