A strike to get more than the bonus ?

Or some other tactic
Well I would just put it on the "Not Achieved" list dingo. Perhaps if the union was less accommodating with RMs ideals and try a little horse trading for the members. I'm not in favour of strikes dingo, particularly when they achieve nothing, at least not on a national basis........you know winners and losers. No!, for my money non-cooperation is a much better tool than striking unless the leadership are up for the fight.

So, they didn't have Christmas when you signed up for the job then? It's a bonus on top of your pay. Get over yourselves.

They will be out delivering my CUT OFFs :left: :left: :left: :left: :left: :left:
the CUT OFFS they stay in office at our place and managers av agood laugh cuz they ain't bothered! wilful delay springs to mind but on who's head?
the postie who left it if they dont like you or like i did raise a couple of greivances that proper pissed them off now i have to take them to court and sue them thankfully i have £100 grands worth of cover and if i win hopefully the 3 idiots who "COLLUDED"to get rid of me will be held responsible and get dismissed like i did :evil/mad
