Dear Colleague

ROYAL MAIL DISPUTE â€“ Industrial Action Programme

Further to LTB 849/07 the Unionâ€™s Postal Executive has agreed to announce further strike Action.

The next Action will be a continuation of site specific/functional strikes. This means Royal Mail will face a further week of continuous disruption to mail services.

The full Programme of the next planned strikes commencing Monday 15th October 2007 is detailed below. For individuals it will mean one further 24 hour strike over the next week.

There is no doubt that the rolling Programme will now have a major impact on the company following the two 48 hour strikes. Talks are continuing with the business however there are still significant hurdles to overcome which is why we must continue to apply further pressure in order for an acceptable agreement to be reached.

Mail Centres and Airports - duties, Scheduled Attendance and overtime commencing at or after 18.00 Monday 15th October 2007 and before 18.00 Tuesday 16th October 2007.
Deliveries and Separate Collection Hubs - duties, Scheduled Attendance and overtime commencing at or after 03.00 Tuesday 16th October 2007 and before 03.00 Wednesday 17th October 2007.
Network - duties, Scheduled Attendance and overtime commencing at or after 12 noon Wednesday 17th October 2007 and before 12 noon Thursday 18th October 2007.

I am writing this from a purely selfish point of view and yes I do realise there is a bigger picture than me and money but why does the union never seem to think about us and what we are losing.
I have just lost 4 days pay when I return on Wednesday but some guys in my office are on long weekends and so only lose 2 days pay. Now next week we are off on tuesday and the posties who have only lost 2 days are day off that day.
They could have thought about it a bit better and spread it out so we all benefit.
Sorry rant over

so this means sum people will only lose 2 days pay out of 5, whilst others lose all 5!!

we're on strike for their long weekend,last saturday and today, monday: and now next tuesday!!

will we be on strike the following wednesday??

I doubt it, otherwise all the comedians at headquarters on the executive will be voted out next time!!

come on, shouldn't this have been organised more fairly??

some people losin 2 days pay, others 5 !!

disgraceful

Do us a favour and stop moaning if you want to lose the strike and need the money go into work. the rest of us will stay out!

Gotta say a bit more thought would have been nice to minimise the loss.

all they are saying is this could have been thought out a bit better!!

any day off next week would have done apart from Tuesday, in order to share the loss of earnings!!

own goal postal executive!!

boy, it better be a good deal
