I heard the real sticking point was the new parcel growth strategy...

lol

[clashcityrocker]

apparently the sticking point is that the London area won't let Royal Mail phase in Iron Pyrite for the pavements

Iron Pyrite is an excellent energy shield. It blocks out negative energy and pollutants at all levels including infectious diseases. Iron Pyrite is a very positive stone. It overcomes inertia and feelings of inadequacy. It facilitates tapping into abilities and potential, stimulating the flow of ideas. A piece of Iron Pyrite placed on a desk energizes the area around it. It is helpful when planning large business Concepts. This stone teaches how to see behind a facade to what is, and Promotes diplomacy. It is an ally in assisting one in taking action to create abundance in one's life. Its frequency is useful in stimulating creative energy and promoting healthy sexual expression.
It imparts an immediate increase in vitality and gives one a boost for accomplishing challenging tasks in the physical world. It enhances willpower, assisting one in overcoming bad habits and establishing new patterns of health and positive energy. It aids one in overcoming fear and anxiety and helps one establish a “can-do” attitude about whatever one has decided to attempt. It can screen out negative influences in one's environment and give one the courage to banish such influences from one's life. Iron Pyrite relieves anxiety and frustration and boosts self-worth and confidence. It is helpful for men who feel inferior as it strengthens confidence in themselves and their masculinity, but it may be too powerful for "macho" men, initiating aggression. It helps women to overcome servitude and inferiority complexes.

Iron Pyrite increases energy and overcomes fatigue. It blocks energy leaks from the physical body and the aura. Iron Pyrite increases the oxygen supply to the blood and strengthens the circulatory system. It is a stone that holds the ideal of perfect health and well-being. In healing it is extremely fast acting, bringing up the cause of the dis-ease to be examined.

It is about increasing lapsing and decreasing sick absence.
The H&S reps are all over this with good reason.

Billy and Dave can agree to anything they like but it means nothing if the membership say NO

Well said dont forget the reps are not the union the members are.

but do the members ever vote no when union asks you to vote yes very rarely I think might be wrong. by that I mean majority of members.

[Lincox]

Fish, is it really true that bikes are coming back. I am excited.

[maisymoo04]

if this is true, its time to leave the union

No it's not true load ov bull sh@@ stop talkin crap

[minimumstandard]

7 year deal
300 for people who supported I/A in the past
Non members to get three year deal plus reduction in sick pay and annual leave entitlement.
Non members to be first out when redundancy comes.

[maisymoo04]

Yes

[BernardBresslaw]

Is there due to be an announcement tomorrow?

[TrueBlueTerrier]

Is there due to be an announcement tomorrow?

No

Its a national briefing for reps which will hopefully be cascaded down to us mortals.

Dont hold yer breath then.My main problem with the union during the unrest,and in fact most of the time,is the lack of information which in turn leads to rumours and lies from people with nothing better to do.

Its the grassroots level where a lot of the harm is done i'm afraid...

Do the CWU even know what the "C" stands for?

[halfull]
