Your £300 Lump Sum

[cloherty1976]

They can just start paying a payrise before it's agreed.

They could but Royal Mail want to resolve this dispute and paying blood money to strike breakers is not going to resolve this dispute,It's going to prolong it.

They are not stupid,they will test the resolve of the members by dangling the carrot but they will not provoke the members and strengthen the resolve of those who ignore it by actually paying the £300.
That would be counterproductive.

Agree with this fishtank. Would you say that as management and union are really going round in circles the dialog between them is not really getting anywhere and more to the point do you think Royal Mail are looking into all details to find a way of making ballot illegal?

Dear Colleague


Royal Mail Propaganda


The latest letter from the Chief Executive of the Royal Mail Group is an act of desperation and discrimination.


The legal and factual position is as follows:

· The company cannot discriminate against any employee for supporting their Union in a legally constituted Ballot for Industrial Action.

· Neither the Royal Mail Group nor CWU can ever reach an agreement that discriminates financially against any individual.

· A final agreement will not be based on the previously rejected pay offer, or the content of the Chief Executive’s divisive letter and beliefs.

· A final agreement will deliver an improved pay and reward package that treats everybody equally – along with further company concessions on all the issues involved in this dispute.


The Chief Executive’s position is not sustainable.

Your collective strength will be the decisive factor - vote yes.

Yours Sincerely


Dave Ward
Deputy General Secretary (Postal)

...... and if you wouldn't mind using the reply and quote facility correctly, i could see your reply and answer you accordingly

I don't know what went wrong there.. I was just saying get a lawyer name below it and it would have a lot more credibility!

People talk like £300 is a kings ransom; take tax, insurance and prorata into consideration and it's cock all - I spent almost £300 on two front tyres a couple of weeks ago with fitting and balancing.

Only in the upstairs master bedroom - it can be fun even without the tyres

Yes we tend to keep the coal in the bath, I don't know why we keep buying it considering we haven't any coal fires - I leave it up to the wife to pay the coalman.

This £300.

Im the rep , yet it's my day off.

Now I will be on the picket, yet if its only one day of action, in theory I won't have been on strike.

I've already said if any money was paid to me I wold share it out amongst my striking colleagues who stood with me on the picket.

It's a disgrace, guys have asked me today about the £300

They are wavering . f**k you Royal Mail

F**k your colleagues for being bought off so cheaply. I hate Moya and her cronies with a passion. But they are doing what they are paid to do and for that reason I cannot blame them for using any dirty low down trick they can think of. They get paid extortionate amounts of money to have no morals and no scruples.... your colleagues want to sell thier souls to the devil for peanuts more fool them.

So we go on strike lose a days pay and £300 ,do the sums who can afford to lose money.The time to strike is after the 3 year agreement when we get our shares.Are you going out because some thug from London tells you its not a good deal.Most of the country are laughing at us and say its a good deal.

[Chelseablue]

I have posted this in another thread as well,I thought we were striking so why have another ballot short of a strike? this e mail from the union
Dear Colleagues


Industrial Action Ballot and Privatisation – Next Steps


Further to today’s announcement on the yes vote, the following will set out our next steps.


We have offered the company the opportunity for intensive negotiations over the next couple of weeks to conclude a final settlement on all outstanding matters. If the company are not prepared to make further concessions and conclude the agreement our members deserve – we will hold a 24 hour strike on the 4th November. This strike day is intended to coincide with a mass demonstration for postal workers and provisional arrangements for this are in hand.


We have also announced that if an agreement cannot be concluded, we will soon commence a second ballot for action short of a strike enabling a boycott of the competitors’ mail. The timetable for this second ballot will be finalised on the 28th October, when notice is due to be served for the 24 hour dispute. If this takes place, the second ballot will also be used to open up options for other tactics such as work to rules, overtime bans and non co-operation with unrealistic efficiency demands.


In adopting the aforementioned course of action the Union is taking a responsible and determined position to achieve the industrial objectives agreed at Policy Forums and communicated to CWU members both before and during the ballot process. Our aim remains to secure an agreement before any industrial action is required and if a private Royal Mail really wants a settlement this is achievable.
