What the supermarkets are doing is essentially giving their employees a dividend share of the extra profits they will be making through this crisis

I am pretty sure your assumption is very accurate. Royal Mail on the other hand wont give a toss about us running around with next to no protection delivering loads of packets due to recent spike in the volume.

Extra money? Sounds good, however before we all think about a quick holiday (ahem) for 2/3 weeks which sadly some have done,
(must be corona stress) there are genuine cases like cancer recovery, asthma, Carer etc. The CWU fought for these privileges and RM honour them (normally). Just remember 80% of your pay will be on your basic when you get it in May. Plus for those taking the urine thank you for screwing up what our union has fought for, makes it harder for the genuine cases to be heard.

Way the management of RM are I wouldn't be surprised to see them take money out of our wages for the wipes and gloves supplied by them.

What could they do a stage one means nothing of course its something you could do without but if your job was under threat you can guarantee the CWU would have protected you.

Michael Gove from the government just said on the radio all key workers should receive more money from their employers. Not sure if he meant in terms of a bonus or a pay rise. Given that workers should receive a pay rise anyway as a matter of course I would presume he meant some kind of bonus instead. The supermarkets and other chain stores that are still open have already done this. If government are saying this then government workers such as NHS & emergency staff should get something too.
Don't know about us Posties though...... Maybe there is something in the Courier.......
