What Would Get You To Change You're Mind...

Post by PostieWithTheMostie! »

I'm 99.9% a NO VOTER.. But would be tempted to VOTE YES if :-

1. Mail Deliveries are completed in the morning, i.e TIME of LAST LETTER = 12:00 o'clock.

2. Same goes for a Saturday.

3. 1 in 4 Saturdays sounds good, lets test it for the foreseeable future.

4. Let D2D payments stay as they are! thou an increase to 2p an item, rather than the 1.67p and i'd gladly take out more D2D's.

5. Increase the Golden carrot to £5k.

6. Keep Colleague Shares seperate.

Anymore ideas that would get us to change to a YES VOTE...? ? ?

Keeping the last letter at 2pm would even sway me.

With Crozier's bonus I could swing the whole DO behind a "yes" vote. No trouble!

The D2D structure should remain as it is now. If the RM want us to deliver more D2Ds then we should be compensated for this accordingly. It shouldn't just be them that profit.
Ultimately it isn't about the money it's about the workload that is going to be expected of you, and if you can't meet their requirements the bullying and harrassment.

Abolish the pro-rata nonsense for part timers.
A thorough investigation into the management culture within the business.
Don't alter the current start / finish times.
Realistic view and assessment of utilising all working hours in the office and focussing on indivduals who 'swing lead'

The problem with the last one postghost is that it would be the same lying,bullying managers who would judge who was "swinging lead".
Would you trust them to apply any standards fairly?..or would they just look after their favourites? :hmmmm
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Just put things back to before we took industrial action and put the union in a"fantastic position to negotiate for us"!
I'll even take another year with a pay freeze. I would vote yes to that! Ah......hindsight. :roll:

Go back to a 5am start and 2 morning deliveries and I'll vote yes, one more thing get rid of 50% of the managers.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

IF,(and it is an "IF"),they switched off the D2D,would this also be a swayer?

If your answer is yes,(and lets be honest,Tuesdays,(and Mondays) are embarasingly light,would the call rate on Pegasus be as THEY want it?

Also,we know our PT are being shat on at present,now do we keep them off the ESA and NOT contribute to our pension scheme? (This would mean no new money going in)

Discuss.......

That take on where we are / should be (and I assume you have taken al external / internal factors into consideration) is frightening.

This is big boys stuff my friend not a kid in a sweet shop (i want i want).

I really do give up if anyone on here thinks that given the whole backdrop to the dispute, automation, the economic and industrial climate etc this is in anyway, shape or form realistic.

It sounds more like a letter to Father Christmas than a dispute resolution. :cry :cry :cry
