Pull yourselves together. Wheres your fighting spirit. I'm sure Ward wouldn't just sell out.

I am not happy at all, in fact, I'm very feckin' angry. I've been striking since feckin' June and now I'm told the strikes are off so as we can give the most avaricious, the most vicious, set of senior managers to ever set foot in Royal Mail, an easy ride over the xmas period. I'm absolutely livid with rage.
Now begins a period where I think long and hard about whether or not I want to remain in this union.

Shat on like the rest of us! but i don't like this idea that we look again at areas that are in dispute? thought we were trying to get a national agreement, or does our union not belive in colective barging anymore, just on using divide and conquer tactics on it's own members!

Union a complete waste of time!!!!!!!!!!!

F**k me what a u turn

while the CWU accepts that some redundancies are required, the two sides disagree over their extent.

They also disagree over changes to pay and working conditions for Royal Mail staff that remain in their jobs.

'Work hard'

CWU deputy general secretary Dave Ward said the decision to end the strike action had been unanimously agreed by its executive board.


It's important that both sides now keep talking about the next phase of modernisation which is vital for the company's future

Business Secretary Lord Mandelson


What is happening to Royal Mail?
Popular posties?
"We can now have a period of calm where we hope we can genuinely take forward modernisation in a way that puts the union at the centre," he said.

Yet he added that the union recognised the forthcoming negotiations would be difficult, saying the dispute had been "bitter".

"It will take exceptional efforts to rebuild trust," he said. "But we will work very hard to ensure that the agreement stays on track."

Royal Mail managing director Mark Higson said he now looked forward "to positive and constructive discussions on the next stage of Royal Mail's modernisation plan".
"I'm delighted for our customers and our people that we've got back to a sensible agreement with the CWU that will allow us to deliver a great Christmas while getting on with the vital talks about the longer term future of Royal Mail," he added.

Legal action

The CWU also confirmed that it was not now pressing ahead with its legal challenge to the Royal Mail over its policy of employing temporary workers to deal with the postal backlog

Hold back on all the 'doom and gloom' until the Interim Agreement is available for all to view. There is almost certainly going to be something in the agreement which will allow the action to be reinstated before christmas if RM are seen to be stalling - whilst still leaving time for effigies of Ward, Hayes, Higson and Crozier to be atop postie bonfires the length and breadth of the country at the weekend should the Interim Agreement be a total capitulation and fudge!

rebuild trust there never was any trust in the first place.
