It Was'nt about money!

Post by ARM »

I went out on strike to change working conditions for the better.My manager was doing what ever he wanted without any involvment of the union and postmen.
All through the period of calm he was testing walks and telling us how he was going to implement his cuts.
He told us Tuesday that we would be going from absorbing 2 walks in the office to 6 walks.
Today he is telling the rural deliveries that they will be coming in at 7am and the walk postmen will be pepping the walks for them.
This is on top of taking most of the sorters off to prep part timers walks and lapsed walks aswell.
What happend to discussing and involving the union and employees in decision making!
I did'nt want a pay rise and do'nt care about lump sums I just wanted a fair system and this agreement has made it worse!
My manager will still do what the F**k he wants!

No he cant .Its up to your rep to sort this out and come to some agreement.And all of you should take part in some discussion.If your local rep wont do it,go higher.Dont let him trample all over you.THAT IS NOT THE NEW WAY.Or simply walk out as a unit job done.

You heard how the Union fought tooth and nail for this agreement
