5 days worth of talks to come

Post by POSTMAN »

There will be 2 days next week and 3 days the week after.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

This is all a bit wishy washy....

Are they talking about the prospect of proper talks or are these the talks the union want under phase 4 ?

To have murky message under the backdrop of a national walkout is a tad demoralising.

Add to this the rumour of a 6 week 'cooling off period' and i must say im worried that a full scale retreat is on the horizon.

Talk AFTER the result comes in, not before it FFS. A YES vote is ammo - either way a no vote is game over for good.

And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

This may well be the "meaningful negotiations" that the CWU wanted.
