Heard a rumour that on wednesday we will not be delivering

Post by celerycelery »

Apparently there is that much stuff that on wednesday most of our time will be spent prepping walks etc ready for delivery on thursday. Heard it on the picket line this morning.

Well we are supposed to have our 1 to 1 with management & union rep so that we can air our grievances.
I thought that was what wednesday would be for. :Very Happy

If that is the case dont take thebaite,its provocation that RM are giving out,as said in another thread management will be under strict instructions to try and instigate an unofficial walkout,so if RM want you to prep all day Wednesday just do it.If they want to delay the deliveries of the publics mail for another day thats down to them.
dont permissum bastards frendo vos down

Most of the tabs on mail boxes round here have Thurs on them
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Yet another useless comment from RM without giving a figure to the expected backlog the amount of backlog that exists is irrelevant.

Expected backlog 100m letters actual backlog 80m letters not as bad as expected but still a huge problem.

of course theres a huge backlog, RM dont want to come out and say this publicly tho.

- Postmen get £440/ week average wages = LIE
- 33% of staff worked during the strike = LIE
- theres not a huge backlog = LIE

why arent the CWU getting any people on the news and giving our side, all youre seeing at the moment is RM doing a damage limitation operation and its working because theres a lack of counter argument.
