Do it the truth has got to come out sooner or later all their embargo while the talks were on was all well and good now the talks have stopped we have the right to see what has been agreed or not agreed and if i don't see it on here today i might as well pick up the Sunday times and read it for myself!.

I would say don't do it.

For a number of reasons.

1. It may or may not be covered under the OSA. (Don't think so though)
2. Releasing it may put in jeporday Postmans source
3. It may put RMC existence in question.
4. Its a very technical document and the jornos may just pick up the bits RM want them to.
5. Once its out officially we can send them more professional copies.
6. Its only 48 hours or so till they release and I thinks its more important that we read it (those who got it before it was pulled) and come to a reasoned well thought out reason why we should reject it, rather than the knee jerk kick in the balls it felt like when I first saw it.

:crazy: Me thinks their attitude will backfire on them, even folks who might have decided not to back the Union in a strike, will be so incensed by by this behaviour will now call to arms again-they can only blame themselves.

Let joe public know to expect upto 6 lots of shite through thier door every week from RM alone, knowing that thier local paper boy earns more for delivering the local rag while we are doing it for a pay cut!!!

Well points 2 and 3 would make me reconsider my first post and point 4 is a possible hazard to better wait than put someones job on the line i say hang on for now!.

well considering it will be out on monday anyway why would sunday papers have the urge to put it in when its out the next day anyway. Plus if sunday papers really do want it then they have other means to get a copy.

Point 2 is very relevant!
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

As the Duke of Boots once said - publish and be damned! I read the agreement through adobe BUT never saved it.
