f**k All that's why I say NO the money is ok but they Royal Mail need more commitment to this one issue and it's Get out clause for the whole business is what worries me sort them things out and it could be a deal if they can sort all the other deals out as well.

Money seems to be the only issue with the shitty cwu union. When I was working in our
delivery office wages were only a tiny part of the problem. Changes to the job
were the biggest challenge, but the union can't see that. Too far up managers
arses nowadays, and that is a fact.

They're waiting to get the yes vote before they reveal what's in store for deliveries.

Upon review, let me guess.....
oh let's replace the delivery supplement with say, an incentive payment whereby you personally need to deliver "x" amount of D2D per week/month to qualify. Cutting off is a dis-qualifier of course, as is sickness, holidays, training etc. It's not the company's fault if you only had 3 D2D this week, and the target is 4 every week this month. Oh you don't like it? Well you agreed to take no industrial action so don't think about boycotting your D2D, you'll be down the road. :Sick

Oh that would be funny for the 'Quick there's £200' lets vote this in' boys.

You could be right with what you say above.

only started reading this forum while the talks have been ongoing, now that the talks have finished i'll stop reading it as the constant negative comments are unreal, out in the real world people are on a pay freeze, have no pension,do not get 6 months full pay when off sick, do not get 6 weeks paid holidays, yes things have changed but how many people have left Royal Mail to work else where on a minimum wage with no rights, keep moaning it seems to keep you happy.

Out in the real world people don't moan,they just accept whatever s**t is thrown at them.
It's the moaners that fight to get you your better terms and conditions,it's the "grateful to have a job" brigade that don't.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
