We had the "Work Time Watch With Mother" Briefing today .... just to watch RMTV propaganda FFS. How they've got the Brass Neck to sit there and spout such Bullshit is beyond me. They must be training to be Politicians.
I must admit a few of us got a bit vocal .... and some of it was aimed at our colleagues, not just the management. Considering we got a 97% YES Vote I wonder if half the idiots I work with actually understand what the IA is all about?

Exactly. We don't have democracy, what we have is Corporatocracy and Oligarchy. With a meaningless sham of a democratic process to elect the next lib/lab/con puppets of the banks, the corporations and the establishment
We don't even have Capitalism, what we have is Neoliberalism, which is far more insidious, unfair and corrupt than true free market capitalism.

It's not mandatory for part-timers to watch this dribble at our depot,probably cause they don't get in while 9 and the gaffer is keen to get us all out there on delivery so we've got time to do our lapse.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

I got a strange sense of deja vu - wasn't we in the same position with Moya not so long ago?? Then we got an agreement with the Union towards a SWW which the Royal Mail have now decided is unaffordable....strange how they plan to spend billions of pounds on parcel hubs and make change at 'pace' though. Did the managers not get their salary increase and bonus?? Where the fecks ours??

You know what's coming next, a campaign by The Sun newspaper calling us low life scum for trying to ruin Christmas for millions of kids. Absolutely disgusted by their double standards, if we do not make a stand this time then as private Frazer once said "WE'RE ALL DOOMED".
what these morons don't relise is we send royal mail a message back in may about this,We are not asking for any thing but for r.m to honour there agreement,As soon as rico and his merry man bugger off the better.
I worked for 25 years for Royal Mail before I left 4 years ago! Postmen and women have no idea how well they’re paid in comparison to unskilled workers!nthe moderator on here has banned me from posting as he/she knows I’ll touch a nerve with my posts. Be very careful as to how you manage the coming days, you’re future depends on it!!

Still spreading those false lies - perhaps if you kept to the facts and kept personalities out of it Postman may removed the requirement to vet your posts before anyone else can see them.
So to clarify again.
You are not banned (you are on a moderator to check posts before they can be seen setting)
It was Postman (Admin) that placed you on it, not me as Moderator (although I agree with it 100%)
It's not because you touch a nerve, it was because you were abusive - calling posters - cretins and arse lickers.
It was also because you posted some anti-strike posts which seemed designed to upset people (trolling) rather than actually debate.

DOES THIS THEN MEAN WE DON'T HAVE TO WATCH RMTV during out 'training' time............"anti-strike...designed to upset" (97.1% already decided). Seems a waste of resources - as I thought RMG COULDN'T AFFORD TO SHORTEN OUR WORKING WEEK!!!- ..................actually debate THAT

THEY ARE NOT IDIOTS, MATE...JUST A LITTLE VOCAL AND NEED YOUR SUPPORT AT THIS TIME...TO REMIND 'EM OF THE BIGGER PICTURE. now now no infighting please we don't play the divide and rule game (solidarity is the key and the discussion rests with our reps and rm) THE mediation WAS broken, the law WAS broken next stop LEGAL IA...ALL ABOARD!
We are in theory paid better than most other unskilled workers because the government is not enforcing the minimum wage requirements and allowing abuse of the self employment classification. If the government stopped employers effectively paying often less than five pounds an hour Rico would be less incentivised to head in his current direction. I think we need a total shareholder revolt to remove Rico Black and all the other deadheads from the top of RM. Providing the IA goes ahead I think we are primed for Rico to go away and not come back.
