bad deal for us

Post by wakkono »

the deal cant be that bad cause the cwu would know if its a bad one the members would just vote no
where is the logic of agreeing a bad deal knowing it would be rejected?

Politics - If they have been leaned on by Labour Party bigwigs (and no I don't know if they have its just a suggestion) to get a deal accepted for a commensurate deal applicable to themselves at a future juncture. (A Bung or a sly promise of things to come).

What about the judge who granted the injunction which stalled our momentum....was he leaned on by Gordon?(well, of course it happens, as we all know from the David Kelly/Hutton enquiry farce) Incidentally, shouldn't that judgement send shock waves through the whole trade union movement??

Crappy compromise

Post by Midge »

As usual, it seems, the union leadership would rather settle for a half-way house 'compromise' which compromises our terms and conditions, than lead an all-out fight to uncompromising victory.

If we need to tackle the new labour 'logic' on pensions, flexibility and liberalisation of postal services to fight Leighton and Croziers agenda properly.

Where is the leadership that is prepared to do this?

Some on the PEC wanted to fight, we need to kick the deal out to make the rest fight.
When it comes down to it, full-time release reps like me don't have to do the job, the ordinary rank and file do.
Full-time reps sometimes need reminding who they represent. There's no time like the present...

it'll be interesting to see,after very little in the way of media coverage,
will the CWU go into overdrive,promoting the fact they've secured a massive
5% pay rise for us.
the scenario,the public happy it's business as usual,Royal mail happy,and the
CWU claiming a result.
However,with xmas round the corner,it'll be left to the postman to decide if
any of santas parcels get through.
whatever this dispute has been about,it's clear everyones had a seperate
agenda,and ultimately everything comes down to money.
Greedy Postman....you decide?

New forum as well to discuss it in as well.

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.
