2007 again. If so you can kiss my subsGOODBYE

If it doesn't rein them in, if it doesn't make them understand WE ARE A SERVICE not a business.

We don't do what we do to make them richer, we do it because we believe in service for the greater good. F*ck them, wheres the guillotine.

is it just me or is this a complete mess got home around 2.30 and as far as i knew we were on strike tomorrow. watched the news and a deal has been struck so i thought i'd check on here to see whats going on but it look's like we're all in the dark. our union really does need to get it's house in order and let us know what the f**k is going on.

Please don't tell me I have been on strike since June for nothing.
I don't even want to think about how much pay I have lost out on.
I'm not impressed right now. If they cave in what do we do? What can we do?!

The only in the dark issue is that union sources have told the media but the offical CWU has not told us anything.


HQ have no valid reason to not tell us what dingo posted when he started this topic.

Was it union sources or RM that told the media?

G4S = cash centres, nowt to do with RM dispute. "G4" = Group 4, possibly (even).

Then again, my glass is always ½ empty. :D
Just a wild guess, But let me think....
Royal Mail agree to more full and substanial talks over the next few weeks.
They will probally break off for their Christmas celebration and come back after the holidays for a full agreement.
Then in January they can tear it up or ammend it and carry on as normal as per the secret document.
The union never learns.
