Suggestions on how to get everyone to follow a WTR.....

Post by Pokemon Postmon »

I'm sure there are many folk here who work in an office where, even though it's been said a thousand times, members still come in early, work through their breaks, don't weigh their bags (I'm guilty of that one myself!), etc.
Since the CWU have perhaps cocked up the ballot forms by not including 'action less of a strike', in what way can I encourage the other members in the office to stop getting off work early and do the job as it is written without getting any flak from the management? Is it just word-of-mouth or is there some other way, such as anonymous posters on the notice board or something? Suggestions please...

FOR A START.... Dont say to a screw "IM WORKING TO RULE." As it is Illegal.... If you want to tell em anything tell em I work to the guidelines in my 318 and no more no less.. THEY CANT TOUCH YOU!!!! EVEN THE SILLY BIT AT THE BOTTOM!!!


"AS REQUIRED." DONT MEAN YOU HAVE TO DO ANYMORE THAN YOUR 318.. UNLESS IT IS AGREED BY THE IR FRAMEWORK AND CWU.

OUT


DONT LET THE BASTARDS GRIND US DOWN!!!!!

Tell them to come on here and talk to me,kawak kid,and the Burslem guys. :Very Happy

On a serious note,you have to educate them,the problem with a lot of posties nowadays is all they want out of the job is TIME.
A lot don't wanna look at the bigger picture,it wasn't until i read about the Burslem guys that i realised what fun the whole thing could be,and i told as many at my place as i could.
Since we've been on the vans even the movers and shakers are now happy with it.
The job is so less stressfull it's unreal,in fact we cheer when we go in and we've been hammered.
10-15 blokes telling screws that they are gonna cut off is some sight i tells ya.
Screws running around like headless chickens is such a great sight as well.
And there's nothing they can do about what you're doing.
Yes we finish later,but with a smile on our faces.Moral is through the roof!
As for how to tell them,quiet words may do it,or copy/paste this and print it for them.
Give them my e-mail i'll bloody tell them!!
Download my flyers and put them up.

As a last resort,give em a good hiding!!

Good luck :Very Happy

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.
