The pay freeze is nothing to do with us.

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.

Yep, we also negotiated extra work for nowt. Surely with all that support for helping fix the budget, they might be grateful and give us a bit of sun tan lotion to cover our sore bodies in this latest heatwave.

Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

And what's even better, most of you will be working until you're 66 before you get the OAP - so lets sum up what has been achieved in the last 3 years:

Less Pay
Less Pension
More Work
Working life increased to 65
Working life increased to 66 by 2016 - of course you'll be able to draw your much reduced pension a year early.............perhaps.

Always look on the bright side of life.

Anyone remember the days when the unions were united? When general strikes and support for fellow unionists was common, when the leaders of the unions were ordinary and down to earth?

Sounds like the 80's when I was growing up and the media was near constant anti union.
