[quote="POSTMAN"]I would guess that the CWU would have to change tact...

Not really, lessons do get learnt, people change, and people realise when they have been let down and ripped off and so join another outfit who will help.

Problem??

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.

For your information, I have attached the response from POL to this LTB. POL has simply reiterated its view that our members are overpaid (by one-third) compared with people working in franchised and Sub Post Offices. Clearly, POL is ignoring the fact our members are highly skilled, professional individuals, who are dedicated to their jobs whilst providing excellent customer service. Our members deserve better!
:oops:
Sensible answers please.

This was an 'unfortunate' choice of words from Mr Furey. My view is that everyone, be they Crown Office, or 'Sub' Office based, should have a decent rate of pay to ensure they can enjoy a reasonable standard of living. Surely the aim of the CWU should be to act as a union of people to raise those standards for all?

Hi BFO

The quote you are referring to was made in the days when the CWU did not represent Postmasters......they do now :Very Happy

So lets see what difference they can make, I hope all you Posties urge the PO's you visit to join!

Postman, did you dump his membership pack?? Come on tell the truth.

Seriously every Sub Office was sent a pack back in October. PM me the address and I will send your local Postmaster a pack.

There are 3 or is it 4 different peeps in the sub,they take it in turns to serve and one does the shop bit,he was the one i spoke to.
Maybe he's not the owner but staff,i'll do my best when i'm next in there to ask the others.

Why would 'you' send a pack out as well?

Cos I is a member, and I have supplies, and I want as many Postmasters to join the CWU as poss. We have 10 different shades of brown stuff heading our way, and Subbies need some protection.
