I'm not quite sure what you mean gb93 but that was a hell of a hand grenade to drop on members and then run.
But the supplement will start next week.

Was refering to Lovejoys post few weeks back where if i remember rightly he stated he was no longer going to partake in debate on this forum but would post info when he got it, posted 1 LTB and has never been heard since.

But then the deal has been accepted now,no need now for his wise advice to the masses :Very Happy

What did they say there is no plan B and royal mail are in real trouble. There profits don't tell us that, 400 million and we are in a recession. I think there just dave and billy's bum boys. WE WERE ALL SOLD OUT, THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.

All those good old boys will be at conference congratulating themselves on a job well done :Sick

And the old adage - no news is bad news - have we seen the delivery tools yet? The D2D structure? The new working relationship? How about the workshops? Anybody been on one yet.
Revision tools? HCTs? CDVs?

Just keep on walking down never ending streets

We tried to tell them that but they wouldn't listen but at least at Christmas we get proper sized vans for the van share duties.

Perhaps its the realisation that RMC is just a forum, has no influence on anything and has been sidelined by almost everyone, including the CWU. More recent threads make it fairly clear that it has no friends anywhere, except maybe the SWP. Its sure gone quiet since the ballot result was announced. :whistle

Shouldn't you be wearing a sandwich board and walking the streets somewhere. RMC is Doomed, the end is Nigh. :Very Happy :Very Happy

I just hope you see it as the joke it was meant to be :Very Happy

Although I am not sure you can sideline anything that has no influence, you have to have influence to be sidelined, and to be sidelined you have to have influence. I don't think you can be sidelined if you have no influence as you cant reduce something that apparently does not exist.

NT is right it has gone quiet since the 2010 agreement but then there is always a hiatus after an agreement. Nothing has actually happened yet and no workshops, revisions et al have taken place.
As soon as the changes begin to bite and the new respect and understanding is proved to be so much hot air and wishful thinking then most are waiting to see how this will affect them. Don't forget that this is a 3 year deal and most of the pay and modernisation is for the future and not immediate.

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.
