Actually it was the CWU who fracked up all our agreements. The CWU in calling for a ballot with the pay dispute allowed Royal Mail a get out clause with the Agenda for Growth no strike agreement and legal undertakings. Just after that, ST went nuclear with terms and conditions as legally, he could,

The strikes tomorrow and Friday go ahead.
Join us tonight at 7:30pm for the most important live event in the unions history"

"Seasonal working proposals would also be changed so that employees would work around two hours less a week in the summer, and two hours more in the winter."
Never heard the 2 hour bullshit before

It was out there, was just put as 30 mins a day rather than “around 2 hours a week”qwerty2 wrote: ↑23 Nov 2022, 14:42https://news.stv.tv/scotland/royal-mail ... ike-action

If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

If I never see that phrase again I'll be happy!

Unfortunately it’s becoming clear that to some it’s a game they’re willing to play at the expense of others.Kenfandango wrote: ↑23 Nov 2022, 15:16If I never see that phrase again I'll be happy!

Re: Is it too late to call off now?
The pictures on the picket line frustrate me. I know there are bigger issues here but like you say stupid dances, vids of us on tik tok, happy smiley faces as Gary from # 48 King Rd dishes out brownies etc.....a lot of us are smiling and look happy.Kenfandango wrote: ↑23 Nov 2022, 15:16If I never see that phrase again I'll be happy!

When I look at the photos from the Jarrow March they look determined, purposeful, angry, resilient, they aren’t pulling faces and laughing (and yes I know it’s a completely different era).
I’m not saying we should have a permanent scowl on the picket line but let’s at least look annoyed because of a very real risk of losing our jobs.
The day is gonna come when we’re all gonna have to testify.

Re: Is it too late to call off now?
I've seen loads of whining on here lately but the fact that we aren't looking miserable enough on the picket line is a new low.
Simon wants us terrified and broken, he wants us miserable.
I think on a personal level it pisses him and his managers off greatly to see us happy and enjoying ourselves outside "his business to run".
We're spending most of our working lives in this management created bubble of fear and uncertainty. Give the guys a break if they want to have a laugh and a joke with their mates/colleagues.
It also encourages more people to join the picket line if it's not just a bunch of "determined" faces constantly talking about how s**t things will be.
