Union subs increase

Post by Gills_Postie »

Apologies if this has been posted before, but has anyone else had more money than usual come out of their wage for union subscriptions this week? Mine has gone from £1.90 to £3.11, same as others in my office. No one seemed to know it was happening!

PL03I or similar? Do a search for it on here. It's the CWU now taking subs according to how many hours you work rather than the old PT/FT system.

I knew nothing about it either...

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.

I phoned payroll about something today, and one of the choices on the automated system is now 'Press 1 for the new union leaving line' :cuppa
