9.6% the lass said is on offer, do you think she got her numbers the wrong way round? 6.9% was the last offical figure.

Hopefully they got it the wrong way round on the contract!

IF WHATS BEING SAID IS TRUE THEN THIS WILL CREATE A MULTI-TIER WORK FORCE.
ONLY THE BIG MAIL CENTRES WILL BE ALBE TO NEGOTIATE A GOOD DEAL BECAUSE OF THEIR SIZE

Sorry, but don't we have a say in this?
It goes out to the members to vote on this.
If you don't like it, reject it.Its part of a package anyway.
"Government welcomes postal deal" - pressure or what?
Until its accepted there is no deal.

Ah I see, that's even worse.

So since it's not backdated: 2.6% pay rise this year. 1.5% pay rise next year.

And Â£175 lump sum which isn't anywhere near as much as 5.4% backdated over six months would be.

What we don't want is regional pay discussions as this will lead to units going their own way!!
This will lead to the management working the breaking point s**t so they can use local negotiations for everything inc pay!!

I am in total agreement with this... I was only stating that RM encourages the rift between D.O.s and M.C.s. My manager upon reading out the new pay offer stipulated that it wouldn't effect us... this I do not believe and even if it was the case I would still support the rest of the workforce. Its easy to get drawn into this... how many times have you heard comments from some ignorant, selfish p***k such as: "Why should we do anything for D.O. or M.C. men, They done nothing for us!" It's petty and very destructive towards a united front. The good thing about this forum is it gives us all a chance to gain perspective from each section of RM. I am fortunate that I am still in contact with D.O. lads from my D.O. days. I always try to encourage support from both ends but sometimes my efforts seem useless.
