Re: DEAL REACHED:STRIKES OFF
I know everyones angry and dissapointed, myself included and i certainly wouldn't have called off the latest action. Having said that i think all the union bashing, while inevitable is playing straight into RM's hands. Let's remember managers come on here and would take great delight in there next meeting to tell their cronies " there all up in arms, lets finish em lads. There's been no agreement, and i think this is just the beginning of a long hard road, comments like " i'll never come out on strike again" are understandable , but weaken our position. Mind you i've not seen this deal thing yet
. Stay strong

Re: DEAL REACHED:STRIKES OFF
I`m just glad that I`m no longer the rep and having to look my men in the eye on yet another effing sell out!
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.

Re: DEAL REACHED:STRIKES OFF
my phone has not stopped ringing tonight, calls from our members complaining about the strikes being called off
everyone of the guys has said they are disappointed and feel like they have been let down
all i could tell them was lets wait until we see the deal before we know if we have been shafted

Size doesn't matter, when you've been shafted, you've been shafted - in the coming weeks you'll see posties all over the land walking with a peculiar gait, round about tea time probably.Dushku2309 wrote:I feel like I've been anally violated by a 12" dildo with the words CWU etched on it!!!![]()

No doubt there will be a positive spin put on it - like "No one sees your funny walk in the dark - and - It only hurts when you sit down"

Re: DEAL REACHED:STRIKES OFF
The Yorkshire Ripper lookalike Higson is the problem full stop - very sinister , a plant on the other forum said " We couldn't go on with the Union having a veto on everything , that's why we brought Mark Higson in " - the same plant was bragging about deliberately orchestrating strikes in London .G O Root wrote:I know everyones angry and dissapointed, myself included and i certainly wouldn't have called off the latest action.

Hopefully the Yorkshire Ripper will get a bloody nose - we can dream !

Oh very restrained, and yes you're quite right, BUT, we've all got the hump coz we can see another arse feckin coming our way if these union boys aren't really really careful. They must realise that this is their one and only chance to do this coz we won't support them again if they cock it up.
Together we stand, divided we fall

Re: THIS WAS NEVER GOING TO BE EASY
This so called agreement and the cancellation of the strikes (in my view) are going to cause major unrest not just with royal mail but with the union also. I'm bloody sick to the stomach here.
If the Cwu can't see the game royal mail are playing. What hope have we.
As soonas January come we are fecked. Royal mail senior managment won't give a toss about being the bad guys.

Re: DEAL REACHED:STRIKES OFF
Am I right in saying RM only need to stall for a month after which the strike ballot is voided? Then CWU will have to ballot members again and by the time the votes are counted, notice given, etc xmas will be over with?
