Just heard

"Today the London division endorsed and agreed a rationalisation document that takes the issue forward and removes the threat of strike action"

Don't know anymore then that.

:hmmmm A rationalisation document sounds a lot like an interim agreement, that took 5 months to thrash out and ended up with this.

I can't wait................... strike avoided, so lets get on to the real issues though and see if we can get a rationalisation document to cover all those problems that affect the vast majority of the membership.

I never understood the reason for the delay after the 2012 Olympics...........many alluded to it but there wasn't a reason for it.

i can now understand why their is resentment against london postal workers from
all over the country.
the M.L.O staff voted for industrial action agaist the closures.
for the last few weeks offices in london have been waiting for a ballot over the m.l.o closures
and that we must back these offices that would be shut down as we would be next for redundancies.
so once again we were all getting ready for industrial action and to back our fellow members.

an agreement or part agreement was reached on thursday evening,london area reps then had a meeting
on monday then for tuesday the M.L.O. staff would be told in what had happened.
yet the staff at all the other offices in london do not have a clue whats going on.
but if there would have been no agreement made, we would all in london had union meetings this morning
to be told we would be all out by july.

so at the moment the majority of london postal workers still dont know what is going on.

London MLO staff haven't yet been told about result of negotiations either. Hopefully we will hear tomorrow.

Well if it's that good would it not have been on the billboards by now? It could just be that it is being couched in the most advantageous light to make it more palatable. No negotiations in the last few years would instil any sense of confidence in me that there is a sea change on the horizon.
