Local Agreements

Post by baleout »

I keep reading Posts that refer to local agreements. Just a few questions about them :-

1. Are they binding ?
2. Are they legal ?
3. Who the hell negotiates them ?

Beginning to lose my trust in Union reps

Any official local agreements will be between the members and local management but should be endorsed at branch level to ensure they are within national guidelines.

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.
