New RM offer

[Thebro]

Whoaa

Right at the bottom it says does not include Parcelforce,

But earlier in passage he says Parcelforce will be getting a raise?

Where does Parcelforce stand now please?

Sorry, it might have been in memo, I just have trouble getting my head round it
Thanks

Parcelforce will get 7% and royal mail 9% , Parcelforce thrown under the bus again .

pppppp

[Thebro]

Many thanks
Why is PF being treated like shite?

Why is PF not in VR exercise?

Don't make sense. If we rbthat s**t, surely RM would want redundancies?
Thanks

The sensible and proper thing for the CWU hierarchy to do would be to put this deal to the membership in a proper way. By that I mean in the form of a posted ballot, again asking if we accept the deal and are prepared to take IA if not, not in the form of a show of hands in the canteen or yard! To dismiss it out of hand as something they can’t agree to would be showing they are acting in their own interests and not of the membership.

How long would a postal vote take though? We've got 31 days to get an agreement signed and implemented, otherwise what's to stop Thompson just ripping it up like every other agreement as soon as we get past Christmas?

[Neverwasadoor]

I agree we should probably vote on the offer, but strikes should still go ahead while it takes place.

[Neverwasadoor]

I should state I would not accept that offer.

They must not put this to the membership until it includes equal terms for all royal mail employees such as Pracelforce/Fleet etc .

[walthmstowman]

I’ve just had a WhatsApp text. Strikes to go ahead

[Neverwasadoor]

Same here, CWU PEC have rejected it and there is a Facebook live tonight at 7.30.

It would be wise to put the new offer to the membership, I'm afraid this is the best we are going to get.
To all the militants on the board you must remember we don't have the leverage we once had, we no longer have a monopoly and customers have other choices.

So many people on here talking of giving up just as the going gets tough ,
Simon will be loving this ,
If you do give up suck up all the crap he throws at you , without any complaints please .

It's not giving up, it's called being rational.

so youre idea of rational is bo++ocks to youre union workmates in parcelforce and fleet

We are entering into the worst economic downturn in living memory and you think that we can win this dispute?
Members have lost hundreds of pounds that they can ill afford to lose.
All your tough talk counts for nothing if members lose their homes but I guess that's a sacrifice you're willing to make.

More than willing to make .
It is about doing the right thing ,
A sense of pride a sense of Justice and not willing to be someones slave Labour .

You're willing to see fellow members lose their homes?

If that is what it takes for the greater good ,
Meanwhile you and others are prepared to stand by why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer ,
And what is all that childish banging your head against a wall nonsense about .

How is losing your home for the greater good ffs.

I know everyone's fed up but I really don't understand people commenting on the CWU's post slating the union or telling them they're going to break the strike. Thompson must be laughing his head off.

[POSTPERSON50]

A message to CWU members - strikes to go ahead.

We have this morning met with Royal Mail Group. CEO Simon Thompson did not attend the meeting.

We put a further offer to the company yesterday aimed at settling the dispute. Royal Mail have rejected this approach.

They have presented their proposals as a final ‘take it or leave it’ offer and the Postal Executive have just met and unanimously voted to reject their offer.

We will hold a CWU live event tonight at 7:30pm and we want the whole union online. We will set out exactly why Royal Mail’s offer will destroy your jobs, terms and conditions and the service as we know it.

This is the most serious situation that has ever faced postal workers. We are facing compulsory redundancies and thousands more job losses than what the company will admit to. It will also result in later starts, total flexibility, Royal Mail being turned into a gig economy employer and the end of the public service as we know it.

Make no mistake, this attack directly impacts every single member, workplace and function in The Royal Mail Group.

The job of all is us is to deliver the biggest ever support for strike action.

See you at 7:30pm.

Dave Ward General Secretary

Andy Furey Acting Deputy General Secretary (Postal)

I will be there Dave.
