Martin walsh has stated no supplements will be part of pay deal.

The seed has already been sown, yet again this year, by not agreeing a pay rise by the start of the financial year.

What does that have to do with tens of thousands of Delivery OPGs wanting APC duties now and taking them on seniority? after DKs first day in charge.. we are all employed as OPGs at the end of the day.

Some brought up the TPM allowance. Very soon deliveries and MCs will be on different pay rates, if the functional supplements do get rolled into basic pay

[tramssirhc]

All the usual CWU loyalists pilling in trying to shore up the credibility of Martin Walsh. Lets be clear Martin stated that the functional supplements were part of the bargain. When challenged here to back up his claim that wasn't true and to explain the sellout at Mount Pleasant Martin disappeared. Then up pops the usual CWU adherents trying to defend the indefensible. Get yer leader back in here and get Martin to put it on the record.

Were we not waiting for the takeover to be completed ? How would that have been possible ?

Simply not true ! No functional supplements are going and they are not a replacement for a pay rise

That's good to hear.

Martin, how many years of pay rises are you looking to agree? I hope it is only 2 max because and ideally it should be one. I can never understand why the CWU always accedes to 'strings' instead of agreeing a formula for calculating a pay rise, for example something akin to the triple lock which would see us get the payrise in a timely fashion at the beginning of April each year. Can you explain why this doesn't happen?

Your constant personal nonsense with MW is tiresome and derailing a lot of threads and discussion.
If you have a point to make, it would be far more effective if you backed it up with evidence rather than just look like you are pursuing some petty personal vendetta.

It is likely to be 3 years, that’s been hinted at already by Martin. Saves them ‘negotiating’ each year.

Spot on , completely obsessed and boring.

Why would you want to negotiate with Royal Mail every year , with them constantly wanting to chip away at our terms and conditions , a 3 year deal makes sense.

Rather than go with triple lock, why not go with what the councils up every year, so if the avg council tax bill goes up 4% then our pay goes up by that, as that is one bill we all really have to pay, least then we all get an april pay rise.

[high1ander]

the reason they always want a 3 year deal is because the media can say postal workers reject a 7 percent pay rise
but they dont tell the public that the 7 percent is over 3 years...and also dont mention whats being given up to get the 7 percent
so posties get abuse in the street because the public think were being greedy
its not just royal mail and the cwu a lot of companies and unions use this tactic
i also think they are hoping posties on the new contracts will join the union and vote it through because they are not losing anything
just my opinion

I heard this morning they want monthly pay as part of any pay rise. Anyone else hear that ?
