£400 flexibility.

the good thing about this agreement is posties are gonne be less likely to stitch themselves up by coming in early driving there own cars or running roundlike headless chickens the difficult thing from our point of view will be making sure posties are not forced to work past there finish time. Management will try to intimidate people with the enablers

I am under pressure to sign off before the 15th March but something tells me to 'Beware the Ides of March'! Didn't someone else - more from my era - get well stabbed in the back on the Ides of March? When will we ever learn?

Et tu, Brute?

I have not heard anything about this since the deal was made, I am presuming the chance of seeing a bounes from RM is looking highly unlikey. To be honest if it involves being bullied by RM management to take part of someone else's walk I would rather not have the £400, I feel like sh*t when I ve finished work as it is without being made to walk even further.

I think walkno is spot on we are a small office and this would meam that if I worked twice on my day off over the summer I would be getting £400 for 16 hours work. brilliant bring it on!!!!!!!!

For those who think there is going to be a strike vote on the Pensions issue - take a look at some of the postings on this issue , which is for just £400 less tax and insurance

If something sounds too good to be true, then that's because it probably is !

I am more convinced than ever that Royal Mail's interpretation of your office agreeing to work flexibly (and triggering the payment) will be that RM can make you do this in your office every summer. When have you ever known Royal Mail pay so much for so little in return (not counting Leighton and Crozier's salaries, of course) ?

No way are they gonna give you that £400 for so little back from you guys. Think about it !!

[Herodotus]

The Royal Mail - has always relied upon - Mr G Reed & Mr M Uppett - they are generally - one & the same!

we have it agreed here in wales were all on a rotational day off and we have all agreed to work 1 day for free and that way there is no extra to do throughout the summer weeks and no one gets taken off there job and no dutys get condensed
£400 payout all signed off and agreed but were in a good office and out dom is ok ( sort of) but were only a small office (70/80) dont think this would work if we were any bigger

Is your office got a screw loose or something thats what we were asked to do and we told them to shove it.
We have signed the agreement not that we are happy about lapsing 2 duties in summer but you can only work to your time RM can't make you
work any longer than you are supposed to but you are choosing to work a day off for free

[protect us]

hang on ! working one day for FREE ?? nothing is free in the world - why would any one want to work for free ? esp for the sake of just to get the £400 sweetner ! - if im wrong please forgive me and correct me , if not then i think your being foolish !

STICK THE £400 UP THERE LYING CHEATING BACKSTABBING ARSES...

RM OFFER A HANDFULL OF SILVER AND PEOPLE JUMP UP DOWN LIKE THEY WON THE FECKING LOTTO....

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROTTEN COFFEE...

Its got more strings on this BUNG than pinochio.....

Any moneys should avalible should be put in to the wage rise and never bonuses that RM fix and feck around with...

The UNION cant keep up with the talks let alone keep up with the sculdugery of the figures and work coming in...

Ive heard a thousand times... "WE ESTIMATE THAT THE FIGURES ARE DROPPING OFF." Then there is alll this CRAP we do for other rival companys... SMART.... No fecking wonder they get away with saying "WERE SKINT AND THERES NO MORE MONEY FOR A WAGE RISE."

When the screws watch us...... WHO WATCHES THEM??????

[wakkono]

like i stated in a previous post i think it suits our office we put it to a vote and we have agreed to do it
most of the posts on here are against the idear of working for free but if you can see around the corner were not doing it for free we are doing it for £400 for just 1 days work
next year is next year were not worried about that untill it gets here
everyone seems to be against it but i aint seen anyone put any more proposals up to get the £400 quid
its easy enough to just say fu ck it and not get it but if its up for grabs and were not gonna kill our selves gettin it were going to do it
if its left to the screws it will be done there way and that has gotta be worse than our way
