When we get a new offer it is bound to still have the £300 included anyway and more secure t&c for a longer period ect; So why settle just for the £300, when you could have so much more for so much longer!

£300 hey. I cannot be bought for £300. And anyway i would rather stand at the gate with my coleagues and give two fingers up at royal mail. Like it has been said the £300 will come out of your wages anyway over the next couple of years or so and anybody who does cross the picket line and is in the union should not be represented and be booted out of the union. All for one and one for all.

So this is how I see it, you get £300 for going into work on strike day so lets all go in, get the £300 then call another strike day - but of course NOT GO IN, play the b*****ds at their own game :cool

We could call for a 2 day STRIKE with a difference, the difference is that the first day is just a normal work day with the 2nd day out on strike, legally they must have to pay us all because you have written proof. Simples

Except the £300 is dependant on not taking any industrial action.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Hidden in this same letter there is a another hidden glimpse into the future, under Protections section
" Please remember that your best protection is a successful and profitable Royal Mail. We should do nothing to put that at risk. Our proposed agreement would also protect you in another way- by overhauling our negotiating procedures. By putting in place stronger processes to resolve disputes, it would mean that we will not unilaterally change working arrangements that are subject to negotiation. There would be no need for industrial action either during the period of the agreement. This would provide certainty, build confidence and help secure our future and yours."

If I am not mistaken this is exactly what Miss Greene did in Canada, preventing I/A during agreements?? :wave :wave

Yes, I guess as soon as you eventually go on strike after they have paid you they would then deduct it from you wage :hmmmm

Even if the £300 existed which it doesn't as part of the deal which also doesn't exist...the plan was to pay it in December,which you can take as being the 31st of December.
That was the whole point of it,a no strike agreement to take us past the point where strikes would be effective...rendering strikes completely.....ineffective.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
