Why ''thankfully''?
Thankfully because I selfishly like having a job not what I think the kids now refer to as a side hustle.

Why are you desperate to turn Royal Mail into an "efficient and profitable parcels company"?

The UK already has more than enough of those.

Another DPD clone is hardly an innovative business plan.

I'm out.
Incredible, you really just don't get it do you.

Quite bizarre that you apparently don't see the need for RM to be an efficient and profitable company and instead think it can carry on indefinitely using anachronistic work practices to provide an increasingly irrelevant ''service''

Delivering barely profitable letters to every address 6 days a week at massive cost which also impacts on the standard of service RM could otherwise offer with the parcel side of the business is an innovative plan is it?

you really having been taking the CWU Kool aid, and we all know where obediently drinking the Kool aid gets you...
The very last thing I'd be doing if I'd retired or got another job is giving a s**t about ex employer and what they are/aren't doing :crazy:
hes probably one on lse share site saying we are all lazy and overpaid and do f**k all work and should be sacked . maybe just thinking of his investment and dividends , never mind DK will take over soon but hes not jumped in yet , clown :left: .

From what I’ve just heard a whole load of allowances are going exPhg , ICS supplement , PBS supplement,MGV driving allowance , TPM allowance , rural waiting standby and a few others . I’ve already decided to vote NO . It’s like we’re financing our own pay raise. I hope my basic goes up by £20 to off set the loss of my ex phg allowance . I didn’t go on strike to win a pay cut .

A photo copy has been texted to me via a work colleague. Apparently it’s from someone senior within the union

A photocopy of what exactly? If you are referring to allowances they wish to remove RM put an A4 sheet out with them all listed 2 or 3 weeks ago.

I fully expect to lose my £6 a week driving pay . Why should the postman next to me lose money on a strike so I can keep money they don't get for doing the same job ? I look at it. It was obvious it would go years ago. I've had a good run. I'd rather it went and everyone got a decent rise.

At what point do we all call time on the union ?

If post xmas this all comes in via executive action than the entire strikes have been pointless and the union have been shown to be powerless to stop it.

Never we still have red lines this is not about total victory but an on going war for our rights. Or have you given up on freedom and not being made a slave?
