In my office nobody cares anymore. They have nearly all left anyway. Only 50% of staff left whose attitude is let it burn. Lots of stress, mental torture and physical abuse of your body for near McDonald’s money.

Because he is allowed to? you should value different opinions. If everyone had the same pro union rhetoric we would end up in a echo chamber and they never end well, i.e twitter.scoobydo79 wrote: ↑28 Mar 2023, 15:39I’m wondering. Why would someone who is so anti union spend so much time on a forum that is by and large so pro union?
It’s bizarre.

Its a well trodden path its just privatisation,difference is the CEO is out of his depth as Rico back said.needadvice wrote: ↑28 Mar 2023, 16:11Other bosses of other companies must be looking at this as some sort of precedent. We can't roll over and let companies start doing this

If it's true, the company is too big to fail. I'd expect the government to step in with administration and then a plan to break it up into smaller chunks to sell off.
Now how many years have people been saying that's going to happen

Honestly? What a dull human you are zZZZredlen wrote: ↑28 Mar 2023, 14:58Yet again calling the CEO of the company you work for and Boss "Slyman" shows the contempt its unionised workers have for their employer. This juvenile rhetoric is what has got us into this position.
That includes the CWU director of communications Chriss Webb after his stunt in Parliament.
.
At the end Royal Mail will end up like British Leyland if this continues,

In my opinion it’s been the plan all along . Great excuse to dump the USO and cream off the profitable parcel servicescotchy1962 wrote: ↑28 Mar 2023, 14:55I see its now made it onto the national news that RM are threatening to go lnto administration if they dont get a agreement with the union. Not sure if its just the last bluff in a attempt to get posties to panic and grab at any s**t offer or its been the plan all along as they can perhaps get the letters millstone off from around their neck. I would imagine its a double edged sword for Slyman and Co as it would probably lead to scrutiny into how they went from making vast profits into down the toilet all in a short space of time, maybe i am a bit to cynical in my old age but i just think feck them lets see where this all ends up. Agreeing to a s**t deal just because there appears to be nowhere else to go is not a option for me. Just inform them that we will take AI and see who blinks first. If you want a job with any semblance of work/life balance you can never agree to RMs plans.

Agree they haven’t exactly tried to hide it. Be interesting to see what the Union say this week because let’s be honest striking will do nothingwalthmstowman wrote: ↑28 Mar 2023, 16:34In my opinion it’s been the plan all along .

Im hoping its all bluster cause i really dont want to have to find another job, im happy to work from 9am-4pm, I agree something had to be done with the sick pay and after the past few weeks I can see why they need some seasonal fluctuation. Lets be honest as well a TRUE 9% rise is better than nothig as well. Time the union put what ever deal they have on the table for union members to vote on.
