Re: Strike Called Off.
i hope this works out ok not just being led up the garden path till pressure is over and we start all over again at square one and a non strike agreement would make little sense as those in charge seem to change the rules as they go along

On the other hand you can't help but feel a bit suspicious why. I suppose we'll find out in time. Onwards and upwards, here's hoping for the best.

Re: Strike Called Off.
Curious about the separate deal on pensions.
I remember what happend when they were "decoupled" before.

Re: Strike Called Off.
It doesn't say a deal has been done, it just says that progress has been made on pay and pensions, CWU will call the strike off for Monday as a gesture of goodwill to RM, it does not mean that there will not be a strike in the future so lets not get too carried away.

The union need to get this one right, because the last time we went on strike, the deal we got was a disgrace and amounted to nothing other than a pay cut, fingers crossed

Re: Strike Called Off.
= A no strike agreement, the only reason RM have made concessions is due to the threat of a strike. If the CWU agree to this they are finished.Biker Mouse wrote:

If there is a no strike deal, I'm voting against it.

Re: Strike Called Off.
stop being negative people! dont jump the gun! I remember a few weeks ago getting letters from royalmail saying the pay deal was at the high end of what they could afford and that the business cannot look past 3 years! All of a sudden they can afford more & can see beyond 3 years!!! We may not be home dry yet but we as a union together are winning the war for our futures! Stay positive, & believe in our union leaders as they are all we have & must support them!

Re: Strike Called Off.
'Strike postponed' would be a more accurate title surely? You have gone for the attention grabbing headline. Doesn't mean it won't happen.
