The future

[Chelseablue]

should we all be worried by all the savings , cutbacks and ripping apart of duties happening right now?

[fishtank]

Why worry?
Nobody else seems to be giving a s**t.
Politicians.
Management.
Senior management.
Senior union officials.
The great british public.
Ofcom.
Not a flying f**k is being given by any of them.


Chill and enjoy the ride.....

It all depends what county you live in. I know MY union in the county I work in do care and are working hard towards that eventual day. I also know that Dave Ward has declared war with Ofcom.

I totally agree with you about management and ironically the general public. But to be fair, for the general public's part, it almost all down to ignorance and lack of media publications.

I think its an age thing. If you are in you are
20 - 35 Get trained to do something else asap because there are big changes ahead, and deliveries now for alot of years is gonna cripple you anyway

35-50 still hope to move on if you choose, but tough, as you are probably RM institutionalised and know its harsh outside and still have dependants and mortgage to pay. And who knows things could well trundle on for many years yet as they are , as the pace of change at RM is not exactly quicksilver!

50+ I guess you are pretty much stuck but probably feel you are better off patching up your battered body and toughing it out till you can retire - hopefully before t + cs are too badly affected.

Round the u-bend and down the sewer with all the other crap,where I work. You get treated like s**t,so you may as well act the part.

[Chelseablue]

Reduce our pay terms and conditions and what kinda staff will you have left?

[TrueBlueTerrier]

[Captain Scarlet]

I can see the job reduced to about 3/4 days a week, the union agreeing to a cut in wages and monthly pay and we will be lapsing on our 12hr duties..............meanwhile we will still be awash with managers

[POSTMAN]

Too many tossbags in the job on both sides,which will be firms downfall.

The pay isn't really all that good unless you are FT, and there are fewer FT jobs to go round.
