The gruesome twosome are at it again.
In a nice letter which will drop threw your door this morning they are telling you in no uncertain terms that a strike will not make a difference.
They are suggesting that the union promised that a yes vote would not result in industrial action (i never received such a promise) and therefore has lied to its members.
it is also trying to manipulate the ballot result to look like half the workforce do not want a strike??
They also say you cannot work to rule or refuse overtime which to me is your personal choice?

I really think the members need to take action to put these two clowns in there place.
Unfortunately i think the arrogant twits will not loose any sleep over a strike all they will do is count there money from there ridiculous salaries whilst laughing about how underworked they really are.

Leightons letter

Post by ade@cambs »

Turned up this morning, i was filling up as i read it :sad: He says it is a sad time for the business :sad: and the mandate has been delivered on the back of vain hope and false promises :roll:, It goe on that Parcelforce accepted their 2.5% yeh but i bet they never had so many strings.
But the bit that got me was that the union balloted for strike action- so under the law it can only ask you to take strike action-not refuse overtime or work to rule.

OI LEIGHTON Since when has it been against the law to refuse overtime :no no

Dear Mr L

Post by coppertop »

When was the last time anyone read such a load of B*****s no more money of course there is no more money the top 60 managers took a pay freeze this year but added it to thier bonus payouts. Mr C's bonus for our hard work was proof of that. It is a shame that Mr L andMr C think that they can run this buisiness like a friut and veg store. This letest letter proves that he can certainly talk a good buisiness but he really knows how to DESTROY one as well.Personally I do not think that you can even compare us with Parcel force the work is of a diffrent type (well in my oppinion).He goes on that half the bollotted postmen voted in favour of industrial action GOOD, at the end of the day we WON and he did not. In the world of big buisiness his reputation is now in my oppinion on the line if we do manage to broker a better deal (which we so ritchley deserve) then he might just as well pack his bags and go. :Very Happy Icould go on and on because Ihave always said that he was here to destroy our buisiness and do what ever it takes to privatise us. :wave

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.

Haven't this pair of dipsticks got anything better to do than to write begging letters week after week? Mind you, I suppose if I was a Leeds United follower I would rather the fuzzy faced buffoon spent his time writing letters than involving himself in the club. The other gimp made such a fine job of Wembley Stadium, it was years behind schedule. They'll be writing begging letters to Gordon Brown soon hoping they'll keep their jobs.

That letter is disgusting. It is a last vain hope of a failed policy. I just hope people are not fooled by it. Now the government should make the 2 idiots and the union sit at ACAS,before it turns nasty. Then sack them and their cohorts. Hope this is not the government orchestrating this and if I find out it is it will be the last vote they ever get from this family. :mad :mad :mad

I'd like to switch the radio on in the morning and hear Leighton and Crozier have been shredded in a hideous accident.

Messrs Leighton and Crozier appear to forget one major point in this country, we live in a democracy, where we have choices, unlike his managers we do not say "YES SIR, THREE BAGS FULL SIR " all these letters do is strengthen our resolve and incidentally my Cwu Rep has " NEVER PROMISED THAT WE WILL NOT NEED TO TAKE STRIKE ACTION " I would like to know what planet Messrs Leighton and Crozier live on as I am pretty sure it is not the same as mine.

In the last throws of their desperation the gruesome twosome are now threatening us with the loss of our pensions. Is it possible to stoop any lower?.........In the crazy world they inhabit it probably is.

The bit in the letter about Parcleforce pay is misleading as i beleive this is an interim paydeal until October, also as part of this pay deal the business now pays for every employee to be a member of benenden healthcare and there is a guaranteed £11.00 per week bonus payment, this adds up to much more than 2.5%.

Leighton and Crozier need to wake up and join the real world, if you bully and harrass people enough one day they will fight back this is our day.
