POLL:Are RM honouring their side of the "Agreement"

Post by mailmonkey »

I remember when Brendan Barber sorted out this "deal of the Century" we were told the situation would be closely monitored to make sure RM honoured the agreement, the spirit of the agreement was even mentiioned iirc.

Personally, I think they're taking the p1ss, seemingly with the backing of the CWU.

I think it's time to admit that RM are FAILING to honour the agreement in any way.

What you all thinkin?

My office they seem to be only interested in the savings they wanted before (exactly the same numbers strangely), the planner just decided on the new duties and made them himself, now he's away in another office doing their revision. :roll:

I knew some MC's were going to close but what has really staggered me is it seems to be over half are going. I am left wondering if the CWU realised it would be this many.

The word honour doesn't appear in R/M vocabulary.

This should be reason enough for offices to resist the revision, the fact that offices, having gone live, are still not receiving the carrot in a timely maner :crazy:

This POLL looks pretty much unanimous, can't say I expected any different

We have just recieved our first batch of sequenced mail,and suprise, suprise they have told us we may not get our money.
To be honest, nobody thought it would end any other way.

Getting the WSM won't get you the money on it's own,you have to have a revision.

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.

There was supposed to be two revisions - one unsequenced to take into account the delivery method, which we have now entered and should get the £200 when it is signed off. The second would be the WSM or sequenced revision which would take into account the indoor element of the revision when less IPS is required and the machinery is in and manned bringing a further £600 followed by £200 not later than 6 weeks after the WSMs are in.
