If there are serious company financial issues, what the heck were the board playing at? Giving each other hundreds of thousands of bonuses, at least some standard pay rises higher than the 2% executive action rise imposed on OPGs and handing out ~£400 million in share dividends in 2022.
That is what I am most interested to know. You can't tell me that this Royal Mail Board don't know exactly what they are doing.
They have massively rewarded the shareholders
They have handsomely rewarded themselves huge bonuses
Many Royal Mail managers got substantial pay increases for being COMs
And unfortunately that has left next to nothing in the pot for the postal workers. And yet they still want to cr*p on our existing terms and conditions
Early morning in a London coffee shop, sometime this week......
Nice one..... made me chuckle...maybe the same one as last time??
I hope a laser focus on the financial reality of the company extends to the reality of todays announcement on wages. e.g "UK real pay falls by record 3%"
Demanding a meeting with the CEO and then not turning up...
The Cwu asked to meet the Ceo AND the chairman. Simple Simon posted on workplace that he and his Chief Financial Officer offered to meet which isn’t what the union asked for. Him bringing the Financial officer along is pretty clear they are not serious about negotiation but instead claiming poverty and offering spreadsheets to show the end is near.
As if by magic the post appears on CWU Facebook confirming that the chairman wouldn't attend. Thanks guys let's keep this up we need to be one step ahead of these shysters at all times.

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. My BFF Clash The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
