I just don’t think it’s credible. No doubt Royal Mail have raised the prospect of administration in the talks to try strong arm the union. I don’t think the union really believe it’s on the cards but have put the rumour out there because they know if/when they get an agreement it’s going to be a giant pile of turd. At least this way they can say the agreement isn’t perfect but hey at least the company hasn’t went under. Very cynical from both sides in my eyes but that’s where we are at.
So basically you think the union and RM have woven a position where they can say “7% and a few strings attached and changes here and there….. but at least you’ll have a job!”
Wouldn’t surprise me. The CWU need something to be able to claim victory to. 110,000 not losing their jobs could be that something.
And RM need to play the hobo role that also hails victory at the fact we are not going to be unemployed.

I agree, a lot of dirty tricks are being pulled here basically in order to get what they want, nothing but scaremongering in my opinion.
Dirty tactics at work and they have shown their hand with all the EA that was agreed to be pulled whilst the cosy chats continue
If Royal Mail can not give us decent pay and conditions well they might as well go to the wall,if the government take it over using public money we carry on striking until we do ,why should we take a hit for greedy bosses,bad mismanagement and failed Tory policies,its time to make a stand whatever the outcome.
Obviously RM have no intention of coming to an acceptable agreement. Time to call a series of strikes throughout the summer. Glad I'm getting out of this basket case of a company.
Maybe if the CWU took its demands with suspended and dismissed reps out of the talks who have their own disciplinary process, agreement on the actual cause of the complaint and dispute can be made. It is no more than Russian roulette now on the very survival and peoples livelihoods
First batch of electoral mail in tomorrow.
See what news we make while that fails spectacularly.... Just the tracked remember guys.
Poll cards have already gone out locally, got mine last week
I expected you would and piss easy
Locally they were a different format from previous years which has been a single card. They were a letter in an envelope, the back of the letter was about the photo id requirements
