Yup

Now
-----
Royal Mail promise the world, the CWU will eventually accept. The strikes are on hiatus.

Future
--------
Royal Mail goes back to their dirty rotten ways and Managers continue to bully and harass.

STILL! Vote YES or Royal Mail WILL pull out of the talks and call executive action everywhere!

They are having 3 days of talks in a hotel this week.

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.

Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

CWU shouldn't call off any strikes (if yes vote) until their is a deal on the table for us to vote on. So if the deal falls through they can arrange a new strike date.

well as we have learnt from 2007 when the agreement was voted in i think that everything had better be clear and concise,more importantly people actually read the agreement and dont vote yes for the sheer sake of it.

Or, better still, when a deal has been reached, put it to the members and send out the ballot papers, but at the same time, give RM advance notice (as required by law) of a national strike, to commence on the day after the result of that vote. The reason ? If the members vote to accept, the CWU can pull the strike. But if we don't think it's an acceptable deal, we can vote No in the full knowledge that the IA will resume immediately. Sound like a good plan ? :hmmmm
