Changes since May

Post by just_nuke_it »

I left in May just in time to avoid the new agreement. What is the job like now? Is park and loopy in full force along with the 8 D2D's a day? Still can't believe how we got shafted by the union.

Knew I left at the right time. So what about park and loop? Noticed all the vans have barnados logos on the back. Shame they aren't so charitable to their own staff. Have saturday ealry starts gone out the window as well? Hope there aren't any footie fans on here :shock:

Morale is low the union seem none existent managers doing as they please with regards to opgs work.

Wanting us to lapse more and more duties,corrupted figures coming out of M/Cs.

Un-realistic Bsi rates ,prep rates etc etc

I think you get my drift well done for getting out just before the s**t hit the fan.

I love working for royal mail

As above things are getting worse and will continue to do so, seen as the CWU have crumbled like a crusty dog turd .

Jesus how can it get so bad? Are the full timers on less money now as well with D2D payments done away with? Still can't believe the union sold us out. I would form a 'Delivery Postman's Union' and get everyone to walk out the DO's. Bollocks to the CWU and bollocks to the courts. This can't be accepted.

Well said Just Nuke unfortunately our leaders are happy with what's going on in D/Os across the land .

The only people to benefit out of this agreement are the folk that gained the D2D supplement regardless of whether they do them or not.

In total im about £1400 worse off just on the D2Ds alone .

Have the union leaders taken a pay cut like we have with this shite agreement.

Oh how bright the future is and I fully agree with you that we should IF POSSIBLE leave the CWU and set up our own union.

But that can only happen in an ideal world and we certainly don't live in one.

Im so annoyed with the CWU at present as they seem to have lost the will to fight for its members.

I suggest during this period of calm Dave,Billy and the mob come out of there ivory tower don a blue shirt and walk the walk.( Ideal world springs to mind with that suggestion)

A good leader will not ask his troops to do something he is not firstly prepared to do himself.

no revisions done..or likely with idiots coming in a hour or more early to finish early

5 D2D's every week since June

Packets getting bigger and heavier, if one more person says "you've got a van" i'll murder em ( I still have to carry it when I do the walking bit)

Oh and the size of SP's has got stupid, what these women behind the counters are doing god only knows....send it parcel force FFS

getting out later rarely out before 9am now.


Oh and the union reps have had all their teeth taken out, and Lino's favourite saying is "you voted for it"

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.
