Can anyone anywhere provide some sort of information.....

Yes it's all very well being sanguine about these negotiations such as "RM have made an improved offer", "Royal Mail has made considerable concessions" - how much and what concessions - extending the ballot is in their favour not ours and another 00.001% is an improvement but means FA. Lets cut the crap and call a strike. All I see coming is delaying tactics to get through xmas and yet another period of calm. If they're not moving on deliveries give 'em a taste of what it's like without it.

I agree all out, go on picket line then go down the pub and spend another day's pay.

It must be getting squeaky bum time for the union bods because they need an agreement by close of play day after tomorrow and it had better be good. Lets not bugger about with joint this and joint that and consensual plans involving the CWU because we in deliveries know that is bullpoo. The cry was that unless the problems in deliveries is sorted there would be no agreement..............well we'll see. Forget the resource meetings, they do not take place and duties are lapsed at the drop of a hat and traffic figures are a fecking joke and really play no part of whether lapsing/absorption more a question of get the plebs to do it so the managers don't have to get off their arsees.

so true so f*cking true spoke like a real man.....not an area rep

Listen you cannot conduct important negotiations against the backdrop of the CWU keeping their members updated and Royal Mail keeping their managers and employees updated on their version of what's happening otherwise the negotiations would be about each other's comms.

Already a whole morning was wasted when someone who should have known better put something on this site which was not meant for a wider audience.

Look for those who have never been in these kind of negotiations , well a lot of time is spent in seperate rooms with Roger Poole and ACAS attempting shuttle diplomacy , other times your drafting words.

Look I have said it before the PEC will get a full report today and will make a decision. Unless Royal Mail do a complete somersault there will not be an agreement on all issues and therefore no agreement. Progress has been made on a number of issues but on workplace issues Royal Mail believe there is still a shed load of savings to be had and don't want any agreement which prevents them from taking them. The CWU will not accept Royal Mails postion on deliveries.

Being an hawk if it was up to me then I would vote for action that then gives Royal Mail 7 days to accept that there has to be a new agreement on workload and the future.

thanks for the info dingo...heads up boys to the streets we go(looks like)

Please CWU, look to the sentiments expressed on this forum. Enough fannying around. CALL THE STRIKE

So as Royal Mail and the CWU have agreed an extension can anyone, anywhere tell us what progress has being made?

What concessions are being made on both sides?

What the sticking blocks are?

Or do we the paying members just have to bide our time and wait and find out with the rest of the world?
