Latest Update from CWU

Reads like the CWU have finally been shown the balance sheet, and it ain't good.

Royal Mail is a company that has a monopoly on Christmas - everybody has to use us - and allegedly still can't make a profit.

That's what I thought.

But the bottom line is the strikes are still on unless there's a miracle breakthrough this week.

says it all when they are not willing to put things in writing

- BRING ON VR I will be first to volunteer !

Mutually Assured Destruction this, innit?

RM: "If we're going down, we're taking you with us"
CWU "OK, but if we're going down, we're taking you with us"

But what other choice do we have?

NOTHING LASTS FOREVER !

This is where s**t gets real.
It’s the end of the timeline Thompsons been working to since day1.
Presenting tomorrow with no union deal, terrible financials, a compliant government and Nothing but a bleak outlook.
Share price slumps then the takeover will begin.

Get ready.

or you could see it as high stakes poker

everybody is skipping over the bit that says RM flipped from making 2 million/day profit to making 1 million/day loss in a matter of a few months - dodgy figures. One of them is likely a lie.

Talks look to have been a complete waste of time as I thought really

[49erman]

I thought at least the CWU would go live to explain all this not just on a letter……

I think a lot will go in the next strike days, most have zero confidence in top union officials. Once December is done so are we. Management willing to lose the the battle of Xmas to win the war. Everything will be bought in by executive action for the future of the company, as they see it. If everyone is totally honest the next few strikes up to Xmas is throwing your money away.
Hate writing this as most of you hate reading it but it’s true, we have lost.
As much as Royal Mail need a change at the top so do we.

Mate, you sound like you’re standing on top of Beachy Head. Stay calm I’ll come and talk you down.

What for the minimum LEGAL ammount that RM will pay (I think that's 9 months wages)?

10 days of talks and nothings changed what a joke

By March 2023. Bench merging mail and small packets. Frames removed from offices. Never knowing what is “your duty”. Automatic re-delivery of parcels, callers office door wound down. Monitored to the Nth degree. Just a hunch.
