RMCtv : Royal Mail Group and CWU Joint Statement

[postieblueshirt]

So, rubbish VR terms to put off any senior potential takers leading to Compulsory Redundancy for unfortunate been in the job 2 minutes people.

They don't want rid of 2 minute in the door people they are on the new contracts if they offer what they say there will be (me included)plenty of takers.

The talks are now intense, so there will be intense talks as previous talks weren't intense enough or at all, all very tense.

Usual tactics, some tenuous 'common ground' has been reached through intense talks. No resolution, but at least we have both agreed the talks to be intense.

Let's call off the strikes as a sign of goodwill.

Oh look, we've all worked our bollocks off over Christmas and now we're being shafted good and proper.

100% this.

Unless a good, LEGALLY BINDING deal is signed, we should be striking up to Christmas.

And it needs serious legal force, because you can't trust Thompson as far as you could throw him. (And I could throw the f*cker a long way)

IF YOU NEGOTIATE WITH THOMPSON, WHATEVER HAPPENS WE'RE GONNA HAVE THOMPSON LEFT AT THE END OF THOSE NEGOTIATIONS.

THE BLOKE HAS SHOWN HIS TRUE COLOURS AND INTENTIONS, HE WILL BACKTRACK ON HIS WORD IN A HEARTBEAT.

WE HAVE TO GET RID OF HIS POISON. THE ONLY WAY TO GET RID OF HIM IS TO STRIKE STRIKE AND STRIKE AGAIN.

DON'T PLAY HIS GAME!

People will, if they enhance the redundancy terms to say £30,000 for someone who's done over 25 years and water down some of the strings attached people will vote for a 6% pay rise over 2 years and a £500 bung if the union recommends it.

In another couple of years, the circus will start all over again.

Who would vote for 3% per year for 2 years and £500 when inflation is looking to top 20% in total for those 2 years?

Is a £500 carrot really enough to convince people?

[Asmad]

A deal has to be reached, and as they say, the only fair deal is one where both sides are unhappy with it. Compromise, compromise, compromise.

Upcoming s**t sandwich with extra s**t on the side for us, but hopefully an extra large one for Simon too

You only have to convince half the people +1 and you've got a majority, all a lot of people can see are £ signs.

so basically the union have had us striking for nothing, losing pay and stress all for royal mail to shaft us over! great! we can all pull out our union fees if this is revision after revision constant resigns every year ,getting shafted everyday, redundancy pay next to nothing! what is the point, thought we were going win cwu! , as usual gets to busiest point of the year the cwu trust me wont strike! all mouth and no action, a deal will be struck before the next strike dates! and a crap one at that feartys!,epic fail

[dudek05]

These talks have to reach an agreement which the CWU find acceptable and recommend members accept. If not 48hr strikes should go ahead, We can't cancel strikes on a 'progress made in talks' basis.

[jagger]

Laying the foundations for a s**t deal that saves both side's faces

Same as it ever was.
Surprised anyone ever expected anything different.

[Longryders]

The man is a snake , he can't be trusted , talking to the union , & tweeting s**t at the same time . The man is wetting himself watching what Elon Musk is doing at Twitter.

[CRIBMAD]

TWAT THOMPSON MWHAAAAAAAA MWHAAAAAAAAAAAA

[clashcityrocker]

Same as it ever was.

You may find yourself standing on a picket line
And you may find yourself on a different duty with a different start time
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a shitty Peugeot
You may find yourself in a shitty DO, with a shitty COM
You may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

[mags999]

sounds like the main part of the talks will be on redundancy packages and a better pay deal and no compulsory redundancies good luck with that lot on the other side of the table

[fallenworld2022]

royal mail should do the decent thing, not had much redundancies for about 5 years, give guys that want out there last chance, give them their 2 years pay !
