Ballots for industrial action - KA/DG

Post by Tamsky »

4 units in KA and 1 unit in DG are balloting for Industrial action in 2012.

4 Units in KA introduced delivery methods revisions in 2010 and received £200 lump sum in April 2011. Walk sequenced mail introduced in August 2011, start time retarded, and indoor savings made. RM refuse payment of £800 lumps sums pending another revision. IR framework exhausted.

1 unit in DG balloting over similar issue.

In my opinion we should be balloting all units in Scotland, but it's not my call. I judge new duties under revisions on whether they are do-able by a 65 year old without killing them. They are not fit for purpose and RM are pushing on.

We have done all we were asked to do under BT2010 and are due the money, the 39 hour week, one in four Saturdays off while protecting full time jobs. It seems the only way to get it is by balloting.

Merry Xmas Fishtank.

I don't think we will be far behind you anyway.
We are in the reverse position.
We have our revision,our 39hr week,our methods and our money.
They didn't get their savings and are now trying to claw them back using ridiculous lapsing proposals if not by agreement then by EA and some serious B&H.
Merry Xmas to you Tam and we'll see what the New Year brings. :nervous

Mm that fills a cynic with confidence FT, heading into a revision.
My people are up for the fight, there is a limit for everyone.

In a sad and possible sick and twisted way,this is good news.

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.

They will only be hurting the business at a time when we can least afford it. :oops:

Good luck.
