How is that supposed to motivate me not to strike when ive been due a pay rise for 5 months.

I don't think a pay rise will make all what's in the garden rosey when you read what they have got in store for delivery in the next few years

Krussl,
Yes, just about all of my fellow employees, I've had enough of 'colleagues', are intelligent enough to realise that but apparently "the top brass in RM are completely out of touch" to the extent that they don't realise how each extra message they send out irritates us just that bit more such that the "yes" vote can only gragually increase day by day.

More scaremongering I'm afraid. Its clear what Royal Mail's priorities are and it certainly isn't us - its bigger and bolder investments in automation which will mean fewer jobs anyway

All this scaremongering is really begining to p*** me right off. All it's doing is making me want to strike even more

( Just to be clear i was anyway)

How long will it be before they bash the 'we are out of the FTSE100' because of all this unrest, round our heads?

Looks like the whole system went down around 11.00 http://downdetector.co.uk/problems/roya" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ... royal-mail

Thats when it hit my PDA as well.

I think someone turned the machine off and went home early to watch a match, a bit like getting the 2nd wave of mech early on a saturday, they go home early and it don't come sequenced

Today's propaganda message is sounding more desperate than usual. We've had a chemist and a solicitor now who's taking bets on what industry they're going to fabricate a quote from tomorrow?

That's more likely when they've not got enough staff to run the machines

Another load of bollacks today. Something on the lines of, we care about the community

. Plus the usual tripe of no fight to pick, best job lets keep it this way.

they are getting desperate

I didn't even read it, I don't read the memos now.

They keep banging on about the best jobs, yes they're right, that why we're going on strike to stop the bar stewards taking it away from us.

perhaps a 'merchant banker' ?

I think I'd wet myself if I saw that.

There seems to more than an element of 'cut and pasting' going on with the messages. They are making me more resolute than ever to support the Union even though I have only 6-7 months left working for RM. That and the increasingly desperate postcards with the 'No Fight to Pick', 'Best Jobs' etc etc mantra.

When did Royal Mail ever care about the community?? Oh yes, maybe years ago when we gave the public a service and it wasn't all about shareholders profit like it is now.

A "local solicitor" in a message which goes out nationally on pdas?

Well today was the final straw. I've been undecided for a while about how I'll vote, if there's a ballot. But, after reading about that solicitor, it will be, a unanimous NO vote. Now, how does it go, best jobs, best t and c's, best pay, no fight to pick, industrial action hurts us/me. Yep, they've certainly got my vote, I don't bite the hand that feeds.
