Broken Promises @ Martin Walsh

Post by rmchat112 »

@Martin Walsh ;

So the agreement has been voted in. But could you please elaborate on a few points?

whether we or i agree with you or not have to let you know that at the very least you being on this forum and commenting and posting is important and i appreciated .

just a few points to mention - I don't have dates or time scales but but certain things had been promised in years gone by that were supposed to have been resolved but for some reason not mentions or updates from the CWU about these promises:

1. the sick pay issue - I thought it was to be looked at whereby sick pay on previous terms would be being reinstated at some point, ie not putting us on ssp where applicable for first few days of absence or whatever it is that the case may be, i thought we was fighting for reinstatement of full sick pay as per previous procedure ?

2. overtime rates for legacy staff - again was supposed to be being resolved to make improvements to the rate??? - not a dick bird about this either on any cwu updates ???

3. Also the long promised for many years the the so called elusive 35 hour working week - we were supposed to be getting a reduction in working hours from 37 to the promised 35 at some point.

Any thoughts or comments please @Martin Walsh ???

Best of luck getting any sort of response out of Martin now. Himself and the union only post on these kind of platforms when they need a vote across the line, now that’s all done and dusted we will be blanked and ignored as usual.

Given that he has been on this site since 2007, your statement is just plain wrong.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Being a member on this site and posting/engaging are entirely different things. Keep an eye out how much he posts now the vote is done. I’ll bet we will be lucky to have 3 posts before Christmas from his account.

the fact delivery is impossible now and posties burnout they should be going back to clear a stage in 6 months not a year its not realistic for reserves in particular to only have 4 sick days a year with double ,treble, quadraple mail and not feel boggered
