Am sure if the deal would of been half decent we would of heard by now, and why the Solom mood at Wimbledon last night.

Methinks the Exec are trying their best to "sex up" the proposals so it sound alot better than it actually is.

Unless the arrogant tossers ( yes, you, Hayes, Ward & the PEC ) think it's better to wait until the 10pm news tonight - headline splash on telly, and all the chip wrappers ( Sun, Mail, Express, Telegraph, etc ), and f**k the workers....seeing as a lot of us will be switching off the PC and going to bed before work. That way, they think we won't have time to analyse it ( and see that we will be the ones getting anal-ysed ), before the public see the deal was accepted by the PEC & turn on us if we call for further action.

I've got relations in N. Ireland, and as the extremist paramilitarys used to say over there in similar situations "SELL OUT - YOU'VE SOLD US OUT!!!!"

They also had another saying, for those that had wrong them & were about to be punished...."Nothing personal."
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Mail delivery; those that can, do, those that can't, MANAGE!

deal or no deal

In my office the union rep gets info from this forum and cwu web site -
so we're used to not hearing much until the sh*t hits the fan.

I fear We'll get fancy words and cheerful smiles and It'll end up with us sold down the river!

Why? Why? Why?

Can someone explain why exactly they are adjourned again, and what's the f***ing problem?

So if the offers sh't, what are the options, go to ballot, that will take well over a month,

I cant see our lads taking kindly to that option.

Get out stay out

If such a small group of people cant agree on it in 2 days I think its time to throw it out and get out asap.

I think that we should now be told WHY it's taking so long. I would prefer to see a much more open negotiation process too. Ideally with a webcam so we know who says what. Like they do in Parliament.

Just REmeber boys and girls - Tomorow never comes, the deal will be
the same crap wrapped up different and will change just as quick as RM wants it to.
We got sold down the river here without even a ballot about start times and were told we had to honor the "agreement" by the union big guns, ( pre strike ballot) so I don't hold out much hope of not being stuffed again.
The "late" 06.00 (full timers) starts in my office have now been changed to slightly earlier 05.35! Why - because no one wanted to work until 3.00 /4.00 in the afternoon
All I want out of this is my pension rights protected.

This is taking the p**s now. I can't work out why it is taking so long and were the feck are next weeks dates for the rolling action. This could be considered to be a conspiracy making a bulls-up of this weeks IA and then stalling on making a decision. Its simple the people/person that made the cock up needs to resign from his /her position and tell Royal Mail to stick deal up there arse. Lets get on with the IA and get a deal that can be agreed in an hour.
