Transformation Agreement between UNITE/CMA and Royal Mail Group

Post by POSTMAN »

Royal Mail Group Limited, including Parcelforce Worldwide and Unite/CMA have reached a negotiators agreement addressing some immediate key topics with further details and commitments to joint future working. Our mutual aim is to work toward the success of the Royal Mail Group.

The agreement is in recognition of the importance our manager’s and Unite/CMA play in the future of Royal Mail Group. Managers are the stewards of a company's culture and have the power to shape and even change it. Both parties are committed to implementing the required change identified within the trust survey. We will work together to reinvent Royal Mail for future generations.

This agreement will formulate the building blocks to rebuild trust within the managerial community. To be engaged and motivated to achieve, Manager’s must feel included and valued.

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.

“engage with Unite CMA at local level to ensure that Managerial roles are fully resourced against agreed templates without lapsing”

Time for the CWU to step up….

Bar stewards of a toxic culture :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:
Maybe more like nightclub stewards...watching over the unruly posties, ready to pounce! I'm sure lots of them love a bit of clubbing, figuratively speaking.

A disastrous alliance of line managers and a culture of greed

Managers shouldn't even need to hassle honest Posties day after day telling them they can complete in time, or can do lapsing etc etc....

The company can make savings elsewhere with the use of common sense.

You hassle Posties again and again, they will lose you money elsewhere, they will go off with stress, they will stop doing the job properly, they are probably more likely to have a road traffic accident, they are likely to quit and you will have to pay out again to retrain and re-uniform a new Postie.

Why not have a happy workforce that enjoys the job, knows they can come into a stress free environment where they are trusted to do an honest days work and decide for themselves what mail to take out with them without being questioned. Yes, you will get the odd Postie taking the piss, but just prove it with the PDA data showing them sitting around for half an hour etc and get them out the door if they repeatedly take the michael.

I think the rate at which people leave the company would go down drastically if the workforce was trusted.

I'd be happy if we just came into work with a set frame to prep and deliver and we had to deliver that round that day. Whether it takes 2 hours or 7. And we get paid a set daily wage no matter how long it took. It would take away all the arguments. It would take away the lapsing. It would take away the overtime. If you don't think a set daily wage would work, how about we get a set daily wage paid up until 1.30pm and have a clock out system for anytime worked after this.

It should be so easy to wipe out the whole issue with trust, harassment, bullying this way, and you will have a much happier workforce who will stick with the company for much much longer.

What you mean is go back to the way it used to be. Well that isn’t ever going to happen with it now being a privatised entity ,because all that matters is profit and shareholder returns.
