royal mail wanted locac agreements in every office and now the local workforce is no longer consulted before deciisions are taken at local level. work time
learning sceanario usualy tuesdays goes like this, following full consultation with local divisional and local reps it has been decided to take x number of sa
llections out of the office. What the feck am i paying 3,oo pounds per week to go along with the party line and get shafted shame on you cwu.use your own site, ive had enough ,£150 pounds sterling is better in my pocket, and by the way this is not about money it is about value for money you have sold us down

The union is shyte all use to anyone. Except the entrenched time-servers on full-time release, of course. :whistle

The CWU has been done up like the proverbial kipper by those lazy half-wits in the RM boardroom, time and again the CWU has had us out on fruitless strikes, and time and again they've brought us back to work on worse terms than before.

I've just about had enough. :evil/mad

Yes,at local level our reps are excellent and work very hard for our causes.
At National level i still believe the union is doing a decent job at looking after our terms and conditions.

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.

simple answer NO
my thoughts exactly!!!!

when a situation comes up in our office our union rep argues with the dom then into the office, comes out all smiles, then later he gets saturday off.....i think he has been off the last six saturdays in a row!!!!!!

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I lost whatever faith I had left in the union when the letters started going round my office to the people on 'fixed term' contracts.

Job security my arse. If we havnt got that then we've got f**k all.
