The World Socialist Web Site has been speaking to postal workers about their reaction to the Communication Workers Union calling off industrial action against the Royal Mail and the deal agreed with management. A ballot of members has been set for just under two weeks’ time, a period in which the CWU will attempt to dissipate and stifle opposition to its sell-out amongst the rank-and-file.
The management/union deal essentially agrees to all Royal Mail’s original demands. A 6.9 percent wage increase over 18 months includes a previous 1.5 percent rise, which is dependent on full flexibility—as is an additional one-off lump sum. The CWU has agreed to local “flexibilityâ€

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.

It's a wonder, but then this lad has been around so many socialist/anarchist /syndicalist/Marxist/Calvinist/Opus Dei/Leninist sites in his short life that he's probably forgot to mention this one.POSTMAN wrote:What no mention of this site then!!!IWW Fellow Worker wrote:It should be.

Dont know if anyone else as responded to your comment. But this is not fantasy island stuff. I had to stop someone going out with a overweight pouch the otherday. I weighed it with moblie butchers hook digital scales and it went up to 25kg then went error and i couldnt even lift it off the ground. So my experiance shows that their are clowns around who are overloading pouches to such an extent that they are putting their health at risk.EJL wrote:"A fellow worker weighed his bag recently and it was double the agreed [16 kilo] amount."
