Have you had LARGE cuts at your office this year? Has your job become harder for NO REWARD. Well next year RM will want more and the year after that, MORE and the year after that, MORE. IF WE LET THEM
Are you now lapsing rounds to cover buy downs, annual leaves and sicks FOR NO REWARD? Next year they will want you to give more FREE WORK. And the year after that MORE FREE WORK and the year after that MORE FREE WORK etc, etc, etc. IF WE LET THEM
Are you glad you did not get a pay rise this year? You probably will not get one next year even though RM made profit, managers got a fat bonus and the two at the top earn millions for lifting a biro, whilst you play at being a third world country MULE every day. What if you don’t get a PAY RISE next year? How you gonna pay the bills? Will you phone the utilities and say “have you any spare fuel as I can’t afford it” What do you think they will say to you?
Do you use your own car to deliver the post? WHY? are you rich, do you like subsidising RM? Carry on and next year you will be using it more and more, at a COST TO YOU not them. FACT
Have you every suffered with WORK PLACE STRESS? I have, BIG TIME and it is like a Russian Vine. Creeps up on you till you explode. Turns you into a different person. Affects your attitude to all around you, including family. The job is always on your mind. For some it’s too much and they take the easy way out. I came close BUT I survived it. IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT? Don’t say “IT WONT HAPPEN TO ME” I said that for years.
I have had senior managers roles in recent years (NOT RM. YUCK) and predicted all this s**t coming 5 years ago. My colleagues said “No it won’t happen here cos the union/we won’t let it” ITS HERE NOW. Guess what? Its gonna get much worse. MONTHLY PAY is a coming? NON DEDICATED ROUNDS are a coming. You wait and see. IF WE LET IT
So the moral of the story:
DO YOU WANT MORE OF THIS CRAP FROM A GREAT HEIGHT? YES PLEASE? Then Vote NO to a National strike and YOU ferkin live with that and a lot of us MIGHT even see YOU at the clinic! FACT
Still not convinced? Read this slowly:
Royal Mail said today that for the first time in almost 20 years all four of its businesses were in profit.
The publicly owned group, at the centre of controversial proposals to sell a minority stake to an outside investor, said that it had made a profit of £255m in the first nine months of the year, more than £90m ahead of the total for the whole of last year.
Full-year profits are expected to be double the £162m recorded in 2007/08, the company said in an interim trading statement this afternoon.
The chairman, Allan Leighton, :lfo said: "The company and its people have come a long way in just six years when Royal Mail was losing more than £1m a day and routinely failing quality-of-service targets."
YES WE DID IT. US, YOU AND ME, AND AS A THANK YOU WHAT DO WE GET
SO ASK YOURSELF THE QUESTION BEFORE YOU VOTE NO "DO I WANT TO KEEP SUBSIDISING RM AND ALSO DO I WANT TO DO LOTS MORE FREE WORK SO I FINISH IN MY TIME AND NOT RM'S?" no? THEN VOTE yes TO A NATIONAL STRIKE. LOOSE A FEW BOB NOW COS YOU WILL LOOSE MUCH MORE LONG TERM AND MAYBE EVEN YOUR HEALTH TOO. FACT PASS IT ON
