I don't think we should while talks are ongoing. I just hope we get some guidance soon. !

I asked a LM when I arrived for work this morning re late starts next week, none of the managers in my office have heard anything about them going ahead apparently.

They are starting to take the piss out of us and it has to stop.
We should announce strike days and if they dont like it then tough s**t. Who was it who called the talks to an end? Who was it who said that the "period of calm is over"? Not us them. I dont mind taking the morale high ground but even that has its limits and they have crossed it.
Call some dates lay down the law and if they want to deal thye do it on OUR terms.

agreed

time to earn the cash now but lets see what comes out tonight or in the morning

Think we should now be posting a series of rolling strike dates, up to and including xmas and beyond. We cannot and should not give in now. This is a deliberate ploy by the two tossers to discredit the union and its members. We should also be going public with the latest, and infoming the public of what is really going on. They deserve better and deserve to know the truth! Why are the union holding back and giving RM the upper hand. Fight dirty, fight hard! :lfo :cfo

If Royal Mail's "plans" make one iota of difference to the inevitable huge backlog of mail, a backlog that is absolutely certain to appear, I'll undergo
a voluntary lobotomy, and become a SCREW!

we have backed the union 100%, hindsight is a clever thing..... but the members knew not to trust the two clowns who play at running royal mail so why didn't our labour loving union leadership? :cfo :lfo :cfo :lfo :cfo :lfo

have i missed something? is the dispute over? lets get real here. these are the sort of things royal mail want to hear! once the agreement is signed sealed and delivered we can attack the actions of our union. for now we must support the PEOPLE WE ELECTED!
