have i got something wrong on here ?

Post by somerset »

I am a full time postie for over 12 years. I get £347.61p + £12.37p Network 2007 pay protection + about £12 d2ds. I was lead to believe that this new pay increase of £20.60p comprised of the £12.37p + £8.23p for unlimited d2ds? Therefore i will be about £4 a week worse off? I keep seeing some people on here who say they are going to be £20 better of each week ? Thinking it is d2d money? Please correct me if i am wrong ?

Don't think you will find many people on here who think they are going to be better off with the new deal. Just the odd couple who reckon its the best thing since sliced bread :crazy:
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

You are right ESA will go as soon as the Delivery Supplement is paid and D2D payments stopped.

At least I hope they don't stop the ESA before we get the delivery supplement.

Nope! you will be even worse off because you are on pay protection, you wont get the 2% rise. Your basic pay will go up but your pay protection will reduce by the same amount. Don't you just love this union.

RM management AND our glorious union deliberately obfuscated matters so that people didn't know what they were voting on, and many no doubt cast a 'yes' vote believing they were getting a pay rise. For shame.

Here's a link for the thickos on here..
EDIT:The other links are better...

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.

:Boo hoo! Thanks for the kind answers to my question, but i didn,t realise you had to have an a-level in english to be on here? I bet you 90% on here didn,t know what the word meant? Why can,t people on here use plain english as well as not daft text talk?
