Royal Mail has said that it is “very disappointed” with the Unite members’ vote in favour of industrial action – but added that it still wants to reach an agreement and it has “robust contingency plans in place” in the event of any action.
In a statement sent to Post&Parcel yesterday evening (21 April), a Royal Mail spokesperson said: “Royal Mail is very disappointed that members of Unite have voted in favour for industrial action and action short of strike over the 2015 pay offer for junior and middle managers. Any action or threat of action is damaging to our business.
“Royal Mail has proposed an average pay increase of 1.3% in base pay or a one off payment equivalent to 1.3% depending on a managers’ grade. This offer follows several months of discussions with Unite. We believe the pay offer is fair and competitive and was ahead of inflation at the time the offer was made in September. It also compares well with other external pay offers in the UK.
“Royal Mail notes that of those eligible to vote, 56 per cent did not vote or returned a vote for strike action. We want to reach agreement with Unite. In the event of any action, we have robust contingency plans in place to ensure we continue to deliver a high quality service.”

I have a feeling that Royal Mail is looking for a fight and is building a head of steam to try and get everything sorted in one go, in the hope that by giving some concessions in one area, they'll gain big in others.
The big fights coming are:
One Pass - Extended Deliveries
One Plan - Continual Improvement/World Class Mail.
Pensions
Basic Pay Rise.
Office Closures
Headcount reduction/
Is the managers fight just a proving ground for some bigger plan.

Pussy's, worse than us.56 per cent did not vote or returned a vote for strike action.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Wonder what this means " we have robust contingency plans in place to ensure we continue to deliver a high quality service" WPC's doing it well I wonder or maybe the DSM will turn up and do a bit?

There is nothing new here, the quotes that RM PR send out to the press are the same regurgitated lines about robust contingency plans. I've read the same comments over and over again in the case of sacked postie David Mitchell from Fife.
