Public Support

Post by **maleorder** » 24 Oct 2007, 13:27

During the previous strikes the Posties had a lot of public support (me included) - based on the great service provided pre this summer. If you vote against this settlement I suspect it will evaporate. I don't think that the country can put up with a service which is not using the worlds most modern technology and best working practices practices. As much as no-one likes change I think it will have to be imposed painfully or constructively.

What do you actually know about the details of the proposed settlement or RM's future strategy?
Constantly amazes me how peeps blindly swallow spin and propaganda with no critical analysis, then regurgitate it as if it was the gospel truth.
Not everything you see written down or broadcast is true, try to get your mind in gear or are you to thick or lazy

they actually use the most up to date modern technology that you can get.......people and we are getting the brown stuff dropped on us from a great height. i get a lot of public support on my round but those who dont, do not understand what both the job and pay deal entails, if they did they would realise that we have sacrificed about Â£400 each (some more) to try and improve the service for both ourselves and customers.

I'm not following spin - only stating how I see it - actually a large user who has until now tried to support the service. When you say 'try to get your mind in gear or are you to thick or lazy' isn't too helpful or constructive is it?

Don't you want to hear how your customers feel? (ignorant or otherwise). By the way I think you mean 'too thick or lazy'

The real point of my post was to raise the subject of public support. Right now most people think the dispute is over.

Sorry about the to too bit thrown by the " best best working practises practises".
Anyway clone, done any research?

They never do

No. Not done any research - and neither would 99.99% of your customers - we are only trying to put forward a view that the public support you have had in the past will not be there in the future if you go back on strike. I love telling buyers who suggest their parcels have been 'lost' will get to them eventually safe in the knowledge that after over 80,000 deliveries you have genuinely lost less than 0.02%. I have supported the service to any one who will listen in the past but faced with laying people off (seriously) if more lost days happen in the run up to Christmas - I couldn't continue to support you. You would feel the same way if you were in my shoes.

maleorder........if needs must...................................................................................................................................
then use a courrier and pay 'just a little extra' you use r.m because of price, service if you want to keep that level of expenditure then back your postie ... if you feel you'd rather pay out more then feel free to pass on the extra cost to your customers . as always it's people like yourself who have no knowledge of workings in the p.o spout pure drivel get facts and then make comments

Thanks for welcoming my input so constructively. I don't object to the fact that you disagree but wouldn't it be better for your cause to educate me rather than insult me? I'm assuming you understand the situation of course.

You just don't see it do you.

maleorder...... asuming you have a grasp on computer literacy use your imagination and visit a few of the threads learn a bit about the dispute through those then come and ask any pertinant questions !!!!

maleorder,

methinks you may be banging your head........

i dont think 'they' can see it from 'the other side'.

i wish they would at least try a little harder.

mrlovepantsuk · Post by **mrlovepantsuk** » 24 Oct 2007, 16:47

some of us can but i dont think that maleorder and a large majority of the public can see that we are striking to improve customer service or at lease prevent the current service from getting any worse which i think it already is under rm`s new working practises.

axeman · Post by **axeman** » 24 Oct 2007, 16:49

just maybe we can't be bullshited like you managers ...ever thought of that two sides to every story but only one side telling the truth and it's not your's i'm a true skeptic lived long enough not to belive what i hear from the most caring employer in the u.k

disgusted · Post by **disgusted** » 24 Oct 2007, 16:49

you are correct mrlove, try and try as i might i am unable to appreciate that you are striking to help me.

well disgustedcollections, stopped, deliveries later and later, post offices closing all things being fought against which affect the customer.

use our competition if you like but just remember we still deliver the mail for them and if you send packets with them they could be double the price we charge, if they dont like your adress they dont have to deliver to it, and if they dont want to deliver at the weekend they dont have to, it is up to you.
