We chose to be posties NOT secretaries. Small minded people find faults, some people may not be able to spell or be grammatically correct, but that does not warrant any abuse!!

Check the grammar t*at...you couldn't count the amount of G.C.S.E's i've got!! and before you say it,i don't work in an office because i couldn't sit on my butt all day wearing Primark,i do the job because I LIKE IT!!
Oh yeh, you like it so much you want to strike for it, pull the other one. I've been a messenger,postman,phg and now a counter clerk. I know the majority are hard working and have a grievance the way Leighton and Crozier are running down the postal side i don't necessarily agree or disagree with there opinion. All i am saying is there are workers in our main branches who are dinosaurs and will not change for anything, they have the skills to change but wont because of peer pressure. Slowly but surely the business will empty them out and will profit from doing so. Okay rant over!

OK, well the lack of CAPITAL letters at the start of a sentence and the lack of .....'s after a sentence is due to what then???

Lack of cerebrum I think

I doubt you do.
Pehaps you are from the same pod then.
Better than being in the same BNP branch though Adolf!

No. I doubt they're all anti-semites.

The problem is the works changing and they are not. Maybe you were around when the horse and cart delivered the mail and would like to still be delivering the mail by the same means.

You lot just don't get it. You all start off with the personal flaming because I ask a few questions. Then when I return with better than you, all you do is spout mince. Go back and read over the thread. You will notice that all I have done is respond to whats been given to me.
It,s all ok. we understand and sympathise. Try to tell us how these responses make you feel.

It's not the change that bothers us so much..it's the way they are trying to implement them..(the 22 strings) they have shifted slightly with the protection of early shift allowance,the strikes got this..not working harder or convincing people that the strings are necessary evils,By working and fighting as one we will improve the implementaion of the changes..NOT erradicate them altogether,no one could be so gullible as to believe we will get that,but something is better than what wer'e facing now,our faith lies with the union to get as many of those conditions"eased" as possible. Your mate Armani can't/won't accept this.He believes that we should embrace the changes as they are,lose staff,lose pay and conditions and just get on with it "for the good of the company" and he wonders why he is met with such animosity??

Hey water pistol. I don't know anything about what you RM staff are fighting for. Only whats going on in the POL part. So for to state that I can't/won't accept this is drivvel.

I'll state again why I came here. READY??

To see what holds us back from doing our job on the counter, we should be getting support on confidence and capability. We still ( on the whole) aren't doing it, there is still a lot of animosity in branches over what we should be doing even though a clear code of practice was issued. Everyday in branches there are problems with people taking the cash as an appearance offer. They are not on.

I cant speak for Armani and don't know the full story behind the dispute for you guys but for us it looks bad. We are all going to the same grade wether we like it or not but hopefully we can negotiate a compromise for everybody.
