CALM DOWN EVERYONE :cool

You've been strong all through this long dispute, why start to wobble now. :hmmmm All those that think they can't Strike because they're not in the Union .... all those that are trying to work out if they've personally been on Strike for the required period .... all those that think they'd escape any reprecussions because they didn't Strike ... or their Office was locked ..... You need to stop stresssing!

Ignore the Trolls, Strike tomorrow and enjoy that extra day with your family and friends. :thumbup This is probably the best break most of us have had at Christmas. No Falling asleep in front of the TV, or being too knackered to play with kids. :Boo hoo!

I'll be getting a real warm feeling thinking about all those Managers having to work this Christmas Eve instead of sneaking off early, when we'd still be out there delivering Christmas. Enjoy this Christmas .:cuppa
Same here what will be is what will be we still will have our friends and families and each other and our community on here.

Guys, you can talk about what ifs until you are blue in the face.

Nothing, nothing is impossible with this CEO, who thought we would ever strike at christmas and fail to get an agreement? Certainly not me.

I heard today that managers are to be balloted again as everything they were promised has failed to happen.

At the end of the day, the majority of us have a five day break over christmas, enjoy it, there is nothing we can do to change it. We could get notification that the strikes are called off even at this stage and we have to go to work tomorrow, I would be royally pissed off if that happened.

If we are all sacked tomorrow surely we can sue the CWU.
I am sure one of the legal beagles on here could start the class action.

I fought the law and the law won (sorry, couldn't help myself) :chuckle :chuckle

We probably could all sue the CWU. Then we could get rid of them and sign up for Unison or Unite that might help us reach an agreement.
Not that they will with the current RM board
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

Those of that are in this union we have legal representation the union could take a class action against the employer just to put your minds at rest also even individuals can do this here is the government website on this: https://www.gov.uk/dismissal/unfair-and ... -dismissal

Hmmm..what rhymes with 'fiddle' - yeah 'middle' as in my middle finger :cool

As for any potential new contract on the table, well Thompson & co can bend over the said table & 'take it large' :Very Happy

Merry Christmas colleagues, stay strong :thumbup :thumbup

Give yur head a wobble - look up total assets of CWU and divide by 115,000 - your in the run off for most asinine comment on RMC in 2022 - and after so many humorous contributions too

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

I have never broken a strike I do feel sorry that do but it is a choice and isolation is a possibility but I don't know them or who works with them all I can say is time is a great healer and it will be a long time!

Lol. Calm down folks.

If Royal Mail sack me, they'll have to sack all of us. And every one of us would take them to tribunal and probably win.

And the thing about new contracts? Illegal.

Enjoy your family and friends time all. Merry Christmas and Solidarity!
