I AM BASHING MY HEAD AGAINST THE WALL WITH MANAGERS AT THE MOMENT AND TRYING TO GET STAFF TOGETHER TO FIGHT THIS
HOLDING MEETINGS ETC AND THEN REPS LIKE THIS ARE GOING TO DESTROY ALL I HAVE WORKED FOR!!
SORRY MATE YOU MUST GO AND BE REPLACED BY SOMEONE, THEN KICKED OUT OF THE UNION.
Good afternoon everyone,lets get a few things straight shall we,JLO is not the union rep in Cwmbran office! The rep in question had been approached by various members of staff prior to the meeting saying that they just could not afford to strike for the two 48 hour periods. During the meeting the rep didnot tell anyone not to strike or say that he was not going to strike himself.After the manager read out royal mails info the rep then read out the unions stance,he then made the point that he would not hold any grudges against people 'IF' they decided they had to come to work. Following this an open forum was available where numerous questions were asked and answered.If 'ROONNY had a problem why didnt he raise it then? Instead he went behind everyones back and posted it here,ok thats his choice,but if he had spoken directly then surely this issue wouldnt have escalated into what it has. By the way Cwmbran has had 100% support in all previous strike action,unlike some of its neighbouring offices,hope thats cleared a few things up.Cheers.

Yeah Yeah - I'm a young Grandad - 39 isn't old! Bring the rabbit to the "barbie on the picket" - much appreciated.
What some people are not aware of is that some Union Reps are getting the best of both worlds. Calling on the troops to support strikes and working on Solidarity. What they fail to say is that during the strike action (where its been part days so far) they have been claiming time back for going around offices doing H&S checks. They have not been loosing out on pay by doing this but encouraging others out to do so.

Sorry! I feet suitably chastised, though when I was younger, R*bb*t was part of our staple diet and is very good, roasted with forced meat stuffing, casseroled with pearl barley, they were so fresh they still had the skin on, and we used to take the scut to school. Of course you had to watch your teeth because there was always lead shot in the carcase.

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been. My BFF Clash The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

If we lose this strike you can kiss goodbye to being able to feed your family on Rm wages.
You will need a second job.
Come to think of it you will probably need a third.
And the large wife will need to work as well.
Get the kids out doing a paper round and they can do a couple of chimney's on the round.
Come on lads our parents and grandparents starved and went to prison to get workers rights we enjoy today,don't let :cfo and :lfo take that away.What would they think if they could see you now?they would turn in their graves.
