[PostieWithTheMostie!]

1 DOMs Annual wage is what??? Probably the eqivilent of 2, 3 or 4 Postmen even.. about time some get the chop and i could tell you who should be the first to go.. [/u

[el_cartero]

if they are forced to be posties again.. watch ur back they might want your walk..

[dongash]

I'M AFRAID YOU WON'T GET ANY SYMPATHY OFF ME FOR THE DOMS. LAUGHING AT US ON THE PICKET LINE, DOING POSTMENS WORK, DROPPING OFF SPECIALS AND POUCHES OFF IN THEIR OWN CARS!!!!! LIKE TURKEYS VOTING FOR XMAS!!! OUR REP TOLD THEM "THEY WILL BE NEXT". WHAT GOES AROUND , COMES AROUND!!

[smokerjim]

What was that cry that rang out at Nuremburg after the war? "I voz only obeying orderz!" I don't remember it being too successful back then either!

[koolkid]

koolkid, if I can play Devil's advocate on the context of the letter for a mo...how many times in RM or previous employment have you done something a superior has told you to do, even though you don't know way? And if you've asked for a reason, how many times have you been told nothing or something like "I don't know / you don't need to know!" I'm sure it must have happened a few times......well, I think that's where Unite & their members are coming from, and I'll give them that latitude, but I can't excuse the fact that they seem to have been sitting on their laurals, as we have been repeatedly attacked ( usually by them as agents of senior mgmt ).

It's like a farmer with 100 cattle and 10 sheep in a field, and he gets the slaughterman to cull 30 cattle....the sheep do nothing - if the farmer then brings in the slaughterman to cull 3 or more sheep ( as the cattle manage to do their thing without much help from the sheep ), why should they expect any help from their bleating?

great metaphor smokerjim, cant wait to see people's face at work in the mornin when i tell them about this..........................and cant wait to get stuck into the dom about it while on the i.p.s while everyone is sorting....................07.12am and if your really quite, you will be able to hear 190 people laughing their arse's off,and to be honest, id give up a day's pay to see them on the gate while..........and i will quote

If there's a managers picket line on our gate, I'm going to lead a conga of fellow posties right through the fecker.

still laughing now

well said fluke, think you should start a facebook page "do a conga through the dom's picket line"

[madelin4]

I would walk through their picket without hesitation just as they did with ours. My problem is that I would also do some managers work to help RM out too, such as drinking coffee and having a ciggie.

Love this..Ha Ha

thats not really a problem.... as most DOMS in terms of length of service would be junior to a heck of a lot of OPG's... give them the crap walks and let them earn their seniority!

[bogstandard]

Firstly, they wont go on strike. if they do, and that my friends i think is a big IF you name the charity and i'll put £20 in it.
Secondly i believe their behaviour and attitude will more likely become even more moronic than at present to save their own arses.
I can see their faces now, and saying "i'm only doing what i'm told, it's not personal " total waste of skin, not enough backbones to go round.

[fmrPOSTIE]

Wheres Redman when you need him? lol.

[norbert]

Wheres Redman when you need him? lol.

they were "needed " for all the strikes that RM's Senior & Middle Management orchestrated - seen all this before , the reps were saying " There is a God " .

[lekker]

See how the mighty are fallen

[dvbuk55]

Every one must have come across an office "auditor" in recent months, or some wally wandering around purporting to be a planner, DOMs support, you name it - what they represent is the surplus "stock" being found jobs until they can get rid of them - and these are BEFORE the current changes and MC closures - I would think 1200 is a very very very conservative figure.

We have "actings" that have been doing it forever and a day - they must feel, like part timers, there is a future for them!

One very nasty comment deleted,let's not get silly here please.

Oh and the flip side of this,what kind of manager do you think they are going to keep...

One that is lovey dovey to you lot,or one that gets the saving at any cost,think about it.

TBH if they just got rid of the 3 in my office then my office would run much more smoothly, the problem with those managers that 'force' through the savings plans is they usually end up in worse crap when the time comes and they haven't really made any savings at all (my office will be over budget by about 12k hours and this is about the same amount that they took out) and I know that they are proposing another 12k hour but for next year but we'll just be out on strike again because of it.
