I obviously understand the need for confidentiality regarding the negotiations to come to an agreement for the current dispute,but no updates of any kind?
The union notice board was awash with LTU's and almost daily updates etc,but since RM won the legal high ground,not so much as a sentence on what's going on!
It's almost like a forgotten war,anyone got anything?Dingo?

POSTMAN EDIT : Added update...
same as it ever was...

Because there is nothing to update. :Very Happy

What has happened up to now is that both parties have submitted their position papers to the Mediator. Both sides are now waiting for the Mediators report. Then, when that has happened, hopefully, progress will be made and information will be forthcoming.

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.

Tbf it's not much of an update from Terry,just a rehash of the last couple of videos from him.The same phrases just in a different order,no real points of substance,just playing to the troops...

Surely he has told you that any further developments cannot be known until the arbitrator has summarised each sides position and given them both a starting position from which to negotiate or reject. What more can he tell you?

So you are prepared to break any picket line if it is after Christmas? If so can you also refuse to accept any improvements that YOUR union achieve.

It doesn't matter when we strike (if it comes to it). If your that worried about missing out on a xmas strike then January won't be a bad 2nd choice with all the sales after December. Plus the weather will be crappier :Very Happy

They are meeting today aren't they?
Apparently RM's submission to the mediator runs to over 200 pages. She then has the CWU one to contend with.
Unless she is a speed reader she will need more time to read the submissions and formulate any proposals.
Who decides if she can have more time?

Will Terry push the nuclear button and call strikes as soon as is humanly possible?
Will RM make a pay offer before xmas to placate the revolting hordes?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
