It affects EVERYBODY.
We don,t do this job because its top money.
We don,t do this job because its a piece of piss.
We don,t do this job because its pleasure to work for such a caring employer.
We do this job because its half decent hours.
We should not vote in any agreement that takes away the only decent aspect of the job.
Tell em to f***ing shove it VOTE NO

The problem guys is RM's 'business plan'.
Their plans involve later starts/finishes because of the WSM's.
The CWU have argued that there should be more of the machines so that it does not affect the delivery times,they have of course said bollox.

So these times are coming in regardless,it's a s**t but it's fact.

What has to be done now is to make the best out of a bad thing and that is where The CWU will come in.

It will be hard but if your reps and branches work hard enough the blow could be softened with different duty patterns.

Also forget all this bollox i'm reading that 'my DOM has said we aint having 4 day weeks,9 day fortnights ect',that's bollox it aint down to them!!!

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.

'business plan'

was agreed with the government in the governments capacity as shareholder

The government expect the plan to be implemented and made to work, Mc Fadden made that clear in parliament not so long ago.

And what an ignoramus like McFadden says, goes? Just like that, eh?

Royal Mail's business plan doesn't for one instant take it's employees, their health & safety, their families, in to account.
It stinks, totally illogical that "modernisation" should lead to poorer terms and conditions for employees, and a slower, less reliable service, to the customer.
The CWU should be fighting to get the RM to draw up a business plan that doesn't just concern itself with how much profit it can squeeze out of every Tom, Dick, and Harry, but one that improves the working lives of employees, and improves the experience of using RM for our millions of customers.
