Just a civil question, where have they said the delivery supplements is going ?

[Woody Guthrie]

You have to look beyond what is only a frightner by the business and union to down dial member expectations.

Look at it this way.

If the business had offered 5% no strings last week and given that inflation is running at around 8% the union would have a hard job selling it to the members.

Fast forward to this week and after the scaremongering the union could claim a 5% no strings deal as a win.

Has no-one ever wondered why the CWU never puts a figure on their pay demands?

We're being played.

Maybe they are going to stop the London weighting.
Some posties will be £100/week worse off.

If we are going to have a grown up conversation about the pay proposals let's at least make sure we are in possession of the facts.
Going off half cocked is so childish.

Just a civil question, where have they said the delivery supplements is going ?

A new video has just been uploaded to Workspace confirming the RM wants to remove the allowances/supplements but they intend buying them out or increasing employees pay etc to compensate them. I believe Employment Law protects employees anyway so they can't just be removed w/o some compensation, which the CWU must know is the case.

Someone has asked Martin Walsh if it is indeed the delivery supplement they want off us, but so far theres no confimation.

Well i hope the 'compensation' isnt this 500 quid they are dangling......some dafty's will just see that and its gone.

oh aye, i forgot about petrol/diesel for those who drive to work has also went up so theres another 15-20 quid pay cut

Not for a docket king colleague of mine who gets to take the van home everyday because he doubles up. He lives 12 miles away so thats 24 miles of fuel per day that he’s not having to pay for.

RPI is 9% for gods sake

The current CPI measure of inflation rate is 7% in the year to March 2022. This means that prices (on average) are currently 7% higher than they were a year ago

Doubling up,everyday,as in doing 2-full walks,every day?!

Jesus wept,he must be minted. I’d be too wiped out to spend anything! What a life,eh!

Great, where is it?

If my memory serves me right (and at my age that isn't a given) they were offering 18 months last time this was discussed.

Pretty much everyday. The guy is a machine, and these are not easy walks AT ALL!!! He must be off his head the speed with which he does them in.

Hopefully he is putting the extra money aside for when he is crippled in afew years. Seen it before.

Well morale in our office has hit a new low after hearing this news. They can shove it after all our hard work over the pandemic, the revision cock ups and now this. Why is it always the deliveries that have to suffer when there’s so much wastage in other areas of the business???
