This latest agreement is the end result of the last 2007 P&M agreement. I can specifically remember Bob Gibson being in Transport House Belfast advising us to vote against the P&M sellout warning us to reject it as he believed that if it were implemented then we would be on the road to ruin. I refer to parts of that agreement involving households and absorption. Thus here we are on the verge of being sold down the river by Bob (who is blatantly advocating the acceptance of this deal) and his merry men. It only conjures up one image, that being Bob and co attempting to join the self preservation society. Dont get me wrong, there are a lot of posties who have and are shooting themselves in the foot by cutting corners doing favours for management by not taking meal breaks, taking out pouches etc etc, (idiots in view) but to be recommended a deal by our own union who are well paid to oversee our terms and conditions are improved, its hard to take it all in. Because for delivery staff it is feckin demoralising and ensures that managers are given carte blanche to run riot over the top of us. The household pay cut is only one issue but the agreement is so vague it can be construed and will be by management to basically make up the rules as they go along. Therefore, one household per day, 6/7 hour walks, joint workshops by management and local CWU reps? Does this mean that the rep will assume responsibility for any postie who is not doing whatever the thug/bully manager wants him to do? Im better off financially in the position I am currently at but more importantly I have dignity and Il be f****d if Im gonna let the local thug/bully intimidate or coerce me into whatever he wants. Vote no to this agreement, there may not be a plan B but at least we will have put up some kind of resistance and send a message to both the heirarchy of CWU and RM
