I wonder if anyone else from ParcelForce can corroborate the claim of Sagey, managerial status unknown, who has a grand total of two posts and joined the forum on Thu Sep 26, 2013.

I am not a manager I'm a driver for parcel force. I don't think we should strike. We will be privatised what ever happens. We can't strike over that as it's the government dissison not Royal Mail. The Royal Mail won't be bought by a competitor because they won't want the 1 price goes anywhere which part of the deal. Who ever buys Royal Mail can't just break it up and take the good bits. The strike can't be over pay as negations are still on going. The 3 yr no changing anything will carry on after the 3yrs, anything that the new owner/s will still need to negotiate with the union and share holders which we as employees will be part of. There seems to be a lot of scare mongering not sure where it's coming from but it doesn't help. Just the threat of a strike has put jobs at risk. A strike will screw us right up.

Yes I agree with you and do think parcelforce have a lot to lose and not a lot to gain. Coventry is a great distribution centre and puts the letters side hubs to shame.

do they want their pensions ''raped'' like?? do they want to be on the dole?? cos thats what WILL happen if they dont strike. oh well. if thats what they want f**k em !!!!
But there are many of the belief that that's what WILL happen too if they DO strike, and they just might be right. :shock:

I work for parcel force and the general feeling is a strike is a big mistake.
Classic !!!
