Obviously we have all lost money, both OT and regular pay.
Obviously various customers have quite rightly buggered off and found alternatives.
Obviously, poitically, we are on our own now. Labour, tory whatever seem to have abondoned us.
Obviously relations at work have become strained.
What have we gained ?
If you think RM are gonna roll over 'cos of a handfull of strike days then think again... they don't give a cow's c***... THEY know exactly what they're doing.End of the road wrote:Lets see what the agreement says first
Why all the doom and gloom now ?
Sure we have had it tough and some have been fighting for months, but I think we have to see the document and then in the clear light of day make a decision. Making rash statements that RM bosses and the media lackeys will lap up all thsi aggro aimed at the HEIRACHY. Its helping no one and we run the risk of alienating comrades, easy people.
If we do not like it , then we have to do something about it .

I'm quite happy to wait till Tomorrow to make judgement on what's happened! I think the court case on temps could have had a massive bearing on what's gone on today!Thunderthighs wrote:Does this mean that CWU now "NOT" taking RM to High Court tomorrow, re 30,000 "illegal" workers being taken on?
They said that this would still go ahead, with or without strikes, I think? Or maybe I'm wrong...again.
If they stop the High Court action, does this mean that the 30,000 RM wanted are still needed, as they did say it was "Nothing to do with strike", didn't they?
We'll see...
That court case is a separate issue. There is only one logical conclusion to draw, and it's very scary You are spot on, I mean who could possibly think that Royal Mail would lie to its employees and not stick to agreements - ha, unthinkable - mind you who was the berk who thought it was time to trust people??? - he'll be the one on the park bench drinking white lightning waiting to be set on fire by some trustworthy yob.bunkerland wrote:I'm quite happy to wait till Tomorrow to make judgement on what's happened!

I'm guessing,well,hoping really,that Royal Blackmails been panicking about losing in court and losing all credibility in the dispute! After all it would have proved what we've all known all along......that the've been lying through their teeth about the purpose of the temps! Perhaps it's agreed that the temps will quietly disperse with only a few hours work(and as many dvds and cds as they can fit in their pockets)to show for their efforts!
I simply refuse to believe the union would throw the towel in from such a strong position!
Am i right? Anyone?..................................................................Anyone?
