What Changes do you want in new paytalk deal.

Post by Darren Bent »

Change Saturday format back to allow us finish by 12.30 rather than 2.30

Block all walksorted bundles coming in unless they are walk scheduled. I am looking at you Northern Mail and Matalin Crap.

Absorbing to be reduced to 2 days a week to protect posties health.

Bonus paid should be tax free so if I get 600 pounds bonus I want 600 pounds not 450 pounds or whatever.

Nice idea, but Royal Mail are not allowed to aid and abet the avoidance of Income Tax by 1000's of employees. If it's on the payslip as taxable income, you can't avoid tax on it.

The union need lessons from the advertising industry on how to sell something that's crap, and make it look a bit more appetising.

Just think... let's say they had said to all of us - when trying to get us to vote the BT2010 Agreement - that we would get a Business Transformation Lump Sum worth £320 for a revision, the psycological effect of seeing

Business Transformation Lump Sum: £400 on your payslip would make you feel great and thinking 'hey, better keep schtumm about this, they've paid me more than was promised'.

The fact that, after deduction of 20% Income Tax, you would only have actually received £320 (exactly what they said it would be worth) would be forgotten, and you not then feel like you'd been 'cheated' out of £80 ??

Memo to CWU Leadership: when making agreements with RM that involve lump sums, publish the likely post-tax amount we would get, not the pre-tax figure. Simples !!

I would like to work longer hours, more D2D's more lapsing and a pay cut with no pay rise for the next 5 yrs.
Now before you all shoot me down there's method to my madness. What ever we say we want royal mail always do the opposite so ;-) thought I'd give it a try,lol.

3.5% pay increase. Are you happy to take a pay cut in real terms. Inflation is above 5%. The Cwu should be asking, sorry demanding a minimum of 7% to cover what we have lost in the last 2 years.
