The 'WTLL Tuesday' thread.

[cruisey]

I thought it was quite comical as it shows RM managers can't cope with the stance of the union. My DOM takes this personal for some reason. He really believes the propaganda of RM. What a complete T**T. He doesn't seem to realise he'll be on the dole and looking for another job cos leighton don't want DOM's either. He won't throw me out this week. I'll throw the IR framework in his face

Any bull today guys

A small bit on our office 2 guys have gone sick and the lineo was running round asking for anyone to cover it. Would not negotiate so no one covered them. He's probably still out there with a Sat Nav working out where he should be.

A FIVE MINUTE SESH TODAY. LINE MANAGER TOOK IT COS DOM WAS OFF, SO IT WAS 1 BIG MEETING INSTEAD OF 4 SMALL ONES. GOT BRIEFED ON SMOKING LAWS AND STRIKE RULES. THAT'S IT. WISH THEY WERE ALL THAT QUICK

[fedup postie]

I asked if we were having our WTL but our line manager said he had lost the bit of paper with it on so we wernt havning one

[heapsy]

Let us know the goss,or rather the bull,we don't have them down at my DO.
I feel i'm missing out

Well you really do miss a trick there mate, always good for a laugh, great opportunity to rip 'em to bits, as I'm prone to do :). Tomorrow is the great big propaganda session from the Two Ronnies (Leighton and Crozier) on all things RM and why we shouldn't be so naughty as to strike.

[POSTMAN]

Come on then,tell all!

Yeah I wanna know as well they had me in callers office till after 9.00. Then boss asked me a favour and I am home 1.5 hrs early - what is he planning to do while I'm not there

ours was on a new packet scanner and system ? that was it

Long discussion on 6am starts. Office don't wanna know, rep don't wanna know but RM are pushing ahead anyway by diktat. Don't know if they're doing this to test the metal. Put in a few reasons why they should'nt move to 6am. Don't think the DOM was bothered what we said.

[snow-walker]

A huge chunk of our session today was a statement about the current dispute being read out, bad for business, think about the competition, don't vote for a strike etc. Hardly the point or function of wtll is it ? We may as well have had a discussion about crozier's bonus!

[johnnyp]

Same as snow-walker,plus certain r/ds will now be in the r.l.e. as r/m have introduced a new service for banks?Looks like a cheaper alternative to special delivery to me

Last night (Monday 04/06/07) we had our WTL&L, the line manager went through the usual RM propaganda about what damage a strike will cause, how it will ruin our jobs etc etc etc. We sat looking at the ceiling or inspecting that speck on the floor when he went into a rant about how he was being stiched up by RM! He spent the next 20mins telling us how lucky we were to be going on strike!

Brilliant! We are going to vote him in as next union rep

I am on 9-15 til 1-15 hours and I dont make it in on time for WTL ... gutted lol
On a more serious note, i feel a bit left out. I dont get to chat to other posties as they have mostly all left by the time i get there. Ive worked for RM for nearly a year now and ive learnt more stuff just by reading posts on this site in 30 mins than i have in a year at RM
