I know what it should mean but RM think it means:

Closing Post Offices.
Cancelling 1st delivery
.................. basically the 17 points in Postman's list about why we are striking.

Blame the government for the PO closures it was they who reduced PO funding from 190 million to 150 million.

Can someone please post up how much we've climbed down and for what! Everyone I know is furious with the cancellation of the strikes so can you please fill us in on what's in it for us.

Customer service continuity
A commitment to deploying change and resolving disagreement without service disruption.

This,I suspect is long term "no strike agreement"
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

The agreement appears at first glance a reasonable one.
It just depends how much Acas and this independent person have involvement.
For me the jury is out and we will see whether RM are just stringing us along.
If they decide to take us to the cleaners then we are done for!
Two statements did disturb me.
1) Mr Barber, man of the people, stating that "change is coming". He sounded like he looked forward to it!
2) Mr Higson to paraphrase "Pensions have nothing to do with this agreement, you kicked out the government's idea, so too bad".

Were giving them a chance to take us to the cleaners though! A chance the b***ards should never have had! We should of striked when the iron was hot! That chance has now gone! We never, ever should of give Royal Mail a 'get out of jail' card.

Why are so many people on here fixated by anal sex, sex toys and vaseline?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

There must be a lot of people with sore knees on here today, all that kneejerking that's been going on over the last few days.

This agreement was unanimously accepted by the PEC, including the good people from London, these people are not going to go back to the postal workers of London who have lost nearly 4 weeks wages unless they can look them in the eye and say " We've got the best deal we could".

Last night was ridiculous on here with all the comments people made before even seeing the draft agreement.

Read the draft agreement and then see how many concessions RM have made.

There's a long way to go and people moaning and threatening to resign from the CWU ain't gonna help anyone but the RM, this was a hugely successful and well supported strike, don't go throwing it all away by throwing the toys out of the pram.

I am not entirely happy with the B&H part of the agreement, I cant see anything about the independent body we asked to get involved.

I'll trust my knees if i'ts ok with you.
I see NO concrete concessions from RM but then why would I?
It's only a form of words!

I have just read the full agreement, digested it, considered its implications and all in all - its a crock of sh*t.
