Your £300 Lump Sum

[Chelseablue]

I can see ppl who go in on strike day,,getting a hard time as this is the most important strike we've ever had

[Bahia Feliz]

If your day off is on the 1st strike day,will you get the £300 before your next scheduled day off 8 days later?

Or off sick?

[Son Of God]

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!

that's another thought if your day off or your on sick on the day of a strike do you get the bribe of £300 ? hhmmm just a thought.

£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.

"What youve not had you dont miss" think of it like" colleag ue shares"

[R@YAL F@IL]

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

[R@YAL F@IL]

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

more importantly where the fu ck is our pay rise ????

Except the £300 is dependant on not taking any industrial action.

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??

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

[BingBong]

OK so it wasnt a personal letter but a generic letter from Moya Greene basically begging us to vote no. Well I'm sorry Moya your abit too late as I've already voted YES and posted mine. erm about 4 days ago!!! stop sending me this s**t and deal with it! anyone else get this letter today?

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.
