A work to rule will never work and is impossible to enforce and probably wouldn't even pass the legal criteria for striking, people need to stop suggesting this as some magic bullet.

Its been over a year since April 2022 and our piss poor 2% (against 10% inflation) payrise. Its 2023/24 already. We need some money now.
Either accept the deal and give us our money or announce some strike dates. Stop wasting our time.
How much longer are we going to wait?

Is the £1500 option not mean you don't get the money until 2024CHUCKYPIG wrote: ↑05 Apr 2023, 17:21Yeah basically the union can either accept the deal, put it to a vote or announce strikes. They just need to get on with it, they have taken too long in my opinion.
Many of us are struggling right now. I know that £1,500 plus 2% pay rise or £500 plus 6% pay rise from April 2023 would massively help me out.
Either give us the chance to get the money or announce strike dates and get on with it.

Re: CWU either accept deal or strike. Stop wasting our time
Good point. Let's also remember that RM will be back for more strings anyway, so new starters should look elsewhere if they want to be treated with respect and with better prospects. I certainly would not recommend a friend or family member to work for RM anymore after what they have put us all through, so why should we encourage total strangers work for RM by fighting for better terms and conditions for them? I would tell any good person to steer clear and if they get poor terms and conditions, then good people will run a mile and those who do end up with RM, a lot of them will be undesirables who will be a nightmare to manage. In the end, new starters will come and go like a revolving door, which means less subs and I think this is what the cwu are scared of. But obviously we don't know yet what the full reasons that talks have folded

Accept this deal and you become a slave, your call but don't come on this forum when your "sugar rush"runs out moaning about terms and conditions

Obviously,the deal is shite and not worth putting vote and no doubt the Union will inform us why.

Who knows but enough for everyone to receive 1500 pro ratapriority102 wrote: ↑05 Apr 2023, 17:28My word if you think this is going to happen, go and bang your head against a wall.
Privatisation was 10 years ago, in a very different postal world than we live in now.
If you think it's bad now, you are definitely not prepared for what it will be like if it goes back into public hands. All this government will be doing is looking for someone with money to take it back off their hands again, probably at a knock down price, and the scenario will start all over again but from a much worse position.
As for RM giving the government money, if they ARE on the brink of administration where do you think this magic money tree will come from?
