Re: All quiet on the union front
I don’t understand how traffic can vary so much from office to office. It is dead in our place. As quiet as I’ve ever known it this time of year.

I stress this is just a rumour but the word going around my MC is that talks are going badly . If that’s true then prepare yourself for more industrial action next week

Re: All quiet on the union front
I wonder if we're about to see a shitload of executive action implemented all over the place if the talks breakdown

Re: All quiet on the union front
If anything - the past year is the busiest I have seen it at ours. Saturday's used to be ridiculously easy, where we'd deliver to 1 in every 4 or 5 houses...
It's not like that anymore. Possibly because we have no floats so post can roll over to following days.
An actual easy day comes just twice a month these days.

Re: All quiet on the union front
I would be amazed if 24/25 is called off regardless of the outcome. No way a negotiators settlement can be ratified by the PEC and put to a members vote in a week.walthmstowman wrote: ↑14 Nov 2022, 16:41I stress this is just a rumour but the word going around my MC is that talks are going badly .

If the negotiators believe they have an acceptable settlement the strikes will be called off.freespeech wrote: ↑15 Nov 2022, 16:13

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

No way on earth this time. I’ve never known feeling as strong in RM. It will have to go to the membership.clashcityrocker wrote: ↑15 Nov 2022, 16:27If the negotiators believe they have an acceptable settlement the strikes will be called off.freespeech wrote: ↑15 Nov 2022, 16:13

We don't strike to kill time while an agreement is endorsed by the members.freespeech wrote: ↑15 Nov 2022, 16:13I would be amazed if 24/25 is called off regardless of the outcome. No way a negotiators settlement can be ratified by the PEC and put to a members vote in a week.
If the strikes go ahead it will only be because the talks have failed completely and not only has no agreement been reached but no agreement looks likely to be reached.
Basically if the strikes on 24th and 25th go ahead we are all in a very bad place, the business included.

Re: All quiet on the union front
Our high street is dead and has no shops. The nearest big city is 50+ miles away. This means a good chunk of people shop online.
