Is this confirmation of Royal Mails plans to fire & rehire?

[The Postman]

Was reading through the AGM transcript from 20th July 2022 and seen this under Section IV Group Overview, Part 2 Employees - this is taken directly from the transcript

"We’re confident that if our people work with us to make the changes we’re asking for now, we can offer jobs to all of them or all that want a job on terms that will continue to be industry leading."

Does this mean that it's been ST's plan to force the union into striking so that he can fire and rehire after 12 weeks of no resolution after all?

If so surely the legality of this must be under question?

[2yearpostie]

RM knew what they were doing, the unions been outplayed (again)

[tansorboy]

New contracts will be in the post to us before Christmas.

[Sputters]

If that happened i would think that they would have to pay you off if you didn't want a new contract.

[49erman]

This needs clarifying by the union, we need to know where we stand……

No because your making yourself redundant.Much like Asda did with staff there, heres the new terms, sign or go.

This is nothing new.he mentioned there will be jobs for those that can and want to work for royal mail when they first announced parcels hubs/loosing 1 in 6 delivery's.

"your old contract is with Royal Mail and they don't exist any more"

[daveyeff]

can't see them sacking us all just before chrimas.

[BigSacks]

I would never put a F&R past them but think you’re over analysing here OP.

It’s just their way of saying that a sh.it sick pay policy and compulsory overtime is still better than working for Amazon.

This site is going full on batshit crazy these days...

[tansorboy]

All they need to do is change the job title and invite people to apply for their renamed jobs. Take it or leave it.

[Pidleypoo]

I genuinely can’t take the mod bending stupidity of the people on this site anymore.

So what happens if 115000 decide to grow a pair and not sign?
