Re: New agreement vote
Same here.
Lots of fancy words and promises
Heard it all before.
As regards the apparent looking no strike deal, I cannot trust Royal Mail not to engineer a situation where they deem a part of the business unsustainable financially, thus scupper any protections and deals we have.
Jesus they can't even get the mail figures remotely right.
Mails down remember
Vote no people.

Re: New agreement vote
Also a NO from me but lets face it
the only people who will actually read the agreement are on here
the union is endorsing this, they will not want to highlight the less 'savoury' parts ( I'll bare my arse in Burton's window if any rep tell's the workforce about the no strike/industrial action/collective grumbling clause)
All people will see is the backdated pay rise and 5 years terms - have a look on Facebook if you don't believe me the union are getting a huge thumbs up and lauded for their brilliant negotiating skills
Just like 2010 it will be voted in and then everyone will moan when the penny drops

Couldn't believe what I was reading ... maybe ask our colleagues at Canada Post to have a quick read and let us know what they think will happen 'after' it is agreed.feduppostie wrote:All people will see is the backdated pay rise and 5 years terms - have a look on Facebook if you don't believe me the union are getting a huge thumbs up and lauded for their brilliant negotiating skills![]()

Nope, why? Promises, and an acceptance of more efficiency which rm managers think this gives them licence to bully.

Re: New agreement vote
It`s going to be a yes vote, and a big one at that, why? because people will feel its gone on too long, and they just need the money in their pockets

Re: New agreement vote
Can I finish at my proper time without an argument? No.
Does this new agreement do anything about that? No.
What will I be voting? No.
Then there's what appears to be a no strike deal...so it's a double no from me.

Re: New agreement vote
Disapointing,was hoping for something good on workload issues. payrise no different,only good thing is 3 yrs to 5 yrs .But quite a lot of us might be begging for EVR by then.

Lets hope you don't come to regret your choice. Yes the money side is good, but are we paying too much in the "words" just like 2010.
