Royal Mail staff agree pay and modernisation deal

[donut]

WTF?!

I agreed NOTHING!

I was just about to post the exact same comments

[Straight4ward]

A line from the Guardian's report caught my eye:

"The union said that under the deal there will be opportunities to turn allowances into regular additions to basic pay, starting with an immediate payment of £20.60 a week for delivery staff, equivalent to a 5.9% pay increase"

When even our own union is distorting the facts, what chance do we have of getting the truth of this offer heard and understood by the public? Sweet FA! We won't get any support or sympathy from the general public if we take IA. We been sold out.

Might as well report for work tomorrow morning, drop my trousers, bend over, touch my toes and say to my DOM I'm all yours!

this bit made me laugh

"There's a balance of pay and operational changes which will help offset job losses and ensure our members are fairly rewarded for change."

lol why are we getting paid less for more door to doors then?

[midvillain]

the media only ever tell half a story, unfortunately.

I love the title of this thread (Royal Mail Staff agree pay and modernisation deal) so someone has agree on my behalf I haven't agree anything and sure everyone else is in the same boat, what the hell is going on with our union

Postman has an online ballot. It's not looking good for the CWU.

Not scientific. In reality, majority will accept the deal.

I think you may well be surprised

not one person I told today will vote yes for this

Like that majority who lost pay and voted to strike in 2008?

its a shame most people are commenting without reading the whole agreement as we went on strike for an agreement on everything and the pensions to be sorted out and even had banners saying its not about pay its about full time jobs.
as far as i know all aspects have been agreed covering all the issues i went on strike for and nobody has been tucked up by the union , some people do need a reality check on this website as i have not seen many firms offering any pay rises lately or commiting to full time employment .

This is'nt a pay rise its a pay cut

[Night Tonic]

Polls on here on something like this is useless. Look at 2007, RMC was sure the deal wouldn't be accepted and it was. Fact.

£400? Just for ticking yes? come on this is the real world. You bet it'll be accepted.

I think you need a reality check

[feduppostie]

nobody has been tucked up by the union?


try asking a 25hr postie that will earn about a tenner for delivering x amount of d2d when they would currently earn £30 ish

Did you go on strike because you wanted their to be no limt on Delivery Spans? or to have a commitment to review performance standards?
I agree it's not all about pay.

ps. the Pensions have been sorted out really?
