That does seem a bit of a no brainer. If you they don't want to pay us then I don't want to deliver it. Simple.
Said this to an area boss and was told they'll just put it all in as mail sort and we would have to do it :sad:
Well that would be great for us as at the mo we have to prep D2D in our own time and not in our regular hours...how would one be able to process 6 x 700 drops of D2D a week plus all the other shite, hmmm?
cut off.
yep hadn't thought of that :dance
Together we stand and united we won (well sort of !)

Do they really think were scared.
Every step of the way they have just lied and tried intimidating us with Bully Boy Tactics.
I do not want to loose any more money. But this shite just makes me DETERMINED. And I will be proud to stand together with my colleagues come rain or shine!!!!!.
apparently thats the very last talks,leighton and crozier are refusing to sit down,which can only be a good thing surely.

Has anybody heard if they are still trying to make us go over to monthly pay?
Last I heard March 2008 was rumoured date for monthly pay being brought in by EA.

The above is to the best of my knowledge and from past experience it is always EC members and the the territorial directors for the gobshites.

Any working groups in my opinion should consist of local and area reps from all parts of the country who report back and take guidance from the ec. The reason being they are the only ones who know what is actually going on in the real posties world and would not sit and listen to bullshit and would know exactly what the members would vote for/against
I know the top bods at our place i.e. area managers etc use these http://members.optusnet.com.au/~charles ... ixhats.htm I could'nt keep a straight face when the AGM's PA came in to collect them and explained what they are.
de Bono`s books are really great for people to find out about `Thinking` big problem for R/Mail Managers is, they are not capable of doing that!

Meetings tonight and all day tomorrow - Crozier, McCarthey, Ward and Hayes

Slow progress has been made


OUTSTANDING ISSUES ARE / CWU proposals


Union still want issue of pensions removed from pay deal - Group wide issue


Working groups to look at flexibility / D2D

Royal Mail have stated that if deal is not made by 4pm on Friday they will withdraw from talks.
I think its a mistake to uncouple pensions this dispute is the best chance of getting a good deal. Do you think that we could manage a dispute solely on pensions in the future?
I think its dangerous and could cost us a lot in the long run.
Working groups....they will talk for a while and bring them in under ea.
Just say no!

Keep up the pressure

Post by baldrick »

We were told that Industrial action would continue until there was an acceptable agreement. Seems to me that setting up working groups is just a delaying tactic to get through the Xmas pressure period, and then in January Bull***t and Cobblers will tell us that the CWU are obstructing change and will impose everything by Executive Action.
We need to keep the pressure on until we get an agreement. :lfo :cfo

:Applause :Applause :Applause :Applause
Any period of calm or curtailing of strike action will mean the union has broken its agreement with their members. There will only be an agreement when our votes have been counted, either to accept or refuse the offer.
