It's now time to turn the tables. The CWU should send RM their terms. Then Call IA immediately and sustain it until RM come back.

RM have no intention of truly negotiating in a reasonable manner, just more HARD BALL. CWU should now play HARDER BALL.

Nice one Lovejoy for the info.

whilst we all feel a little like that right now we have to trust our union are doing the right thing for the right reasons . . . . there may well be an explanation for the secrecy and for now we must trust that is the case and continue support for our union and ultimately ourselves . . . . there will, no doubt, be many questions asked when this is all over, about the handling of it all, but let's wait untill then before backing our boys up against the wall

A Full PEC has been called for 12pm tommorow

I think it is likely that Royal Mail have simply said the position reached last Friday stands.

The PEC have rejected this now Royal Mail have agreed to proper talks tonight/tom and final document will be put before PEC at midday tom. At least we'll know once and for all where we are tom afternoon / eve!

A further report will be made tomorrow.

still wouldn`t hurt the powers that be to make some kind of statement though would it?

Yeah OK that's a fair point, I'm just trying to find a bright side to all this and keep the support up

Bastards

These bastards are playing games again with us just like after the previous set of strikes.
You watch no agreement more strikes announced- and we have again lost the momentum 4 days pay down the f***ing s**t pan.

I stand to be corrected

if you hold strong with the "doing the job properly" campaign you won't break into the backlog at all and therefore loose any ground in our industrial action . . . . . . it's down to you to keep up the resistance, not the union bosses

I've heard the backlog will be gone by next week.

Does anybody have any idea where this is going next ? It's all gone very quiet.

i just think the union would get even more support if they let us know what was going on. at our office we have several people saying it isn`t working etc, but if the union said something they may feel different.

This is rubbish, Mail Centres haven't even started receiving the backlogged mailsort which is nearly two weeks old. In additon to this the network changes on Monday will cause absolute chaos and only add to the backlog!!!
