GIVE YOUR UNION 4 DAYS OR GIVE THEM EVERYTHING

Post by lovejoy »

4 DAYS FOR US…..
Pensions
4 days for us or 5 years for them!

Flexibility
4 days for us or ‘total flexibility for them FORVER

MTSF
4 days for us or no pay protection / good EVR terms from them!

Annualised Hours
4 Days for us or flexible contracts for them!

D2D and Election Material
4 days for us or more weight on on your back with LESS pay for them!

Productivity Scheme
4 days for us or unachievable bonus targets for them with over inflated management bonuses to continue!

Monthly Pay for OPGs
4 Days for us or monthly pay with no payment for them!

Nobody is under any illusions over the fact that losing 4 days pay in 2 weeks will be very hard for us all. We all know though that this dispute is about short term loss for long term gain!

Support YOUR union for 4 days and give Royal Mails plans the Red Card.

OK before I start lets be clear . . .I am walking out for the full time the union ask of me. . . . I am in full support . . . . . however, I've jusr had an e-mail saying we will be out from midday thurs to wednesday morning, that means there will be no overtime on thursday afternoon creating the loss of yet more money for those that need it, it's effectively now 4.5 days out and I can see some people saying that's the final straw and that they can loose no more and will have to scab . . . . . yes we need to make a stance but we also need the full support of our members, if we push too far we're in danger of losing that . . . . . . . WE MUST STAND TOGETHER
Together we stand, divided we fall

It says on or after 1200 so you will be starting your shift before that and can continue it until you finish!

I'm closing in on 25 years brothers and sisters <ooooh sound like I'm preachifying> seen my fair share of IA and it's never been more important or more relevant than now....We need to support the union now 100% or we will no longer have a say or any rights in how we are treated.

For the first time during these strikes there seems to be people in our office talking about coming in.

Starts with people saying 4 days is perhaps too much and can't afford it. Then people asking others thoughts. They agree it'll be hard to deal with the financial hit... It's all good saying a short term hit for long term gain. But that's a very real short term loss (with potential longer term effects), for only a possible long term gain.
It seems the more people sense others aren't 100% sure about 4 days either, the more they consider coming in. The more people think others might come in, the more they consider it too. A snowball effect of sorts with the thinking perhaps being "why should I make the sacrifice if others aren't?.... if others aren't then what's the point in me losing 4 days?".

I think continuing with the rolling strikes would have been far better. And the communication of the issues in real terms has been pish to be honest!

We shall see....

but if you have a contracted "SA" collection on thursday pm then that is after 1200 and not part of your morning delivery shift so you won't do the collection and therefore lose out on more money. . . . . . that means no working thursday pm, all friday, all saturday, all monday and all tuesday therefore 4.5 days lost.

If we loose this we loose SA and OT - flexi working and annualized working effectively puts paid to that
