Prediction

[k979aaa]

I find it a little scary that so many posties are purely concerned with the SWW even in my DO where we are mostly full time with a few on four full days. It may be that the media is putting out the usual line about us wanting more pay but the union just harping on about the SWW backs up the media information. Without union staff letting us know what is really going on via this site we would have no idea and would be in dark like most other posties.
Previous to the strike being stopped in it's tracks it was being predicted that we would get the SWW & four pillars reinstated, for what they are worth, but the other major wrecking changes to the business would go ahead. This prediction seemed correct at the time & it feels even more the case now. In nearly every dispute over the past twenty years we have been sold out or accepted a bad deal. We are on course for this to continue but on a monumental scale compared to before.

As I have said in the past the SWW is their for the protection of full time staff you gain a pay increase of hourly reduction ie one hour doing less tasks it is not for you too make the job feasible in the time allowed it is for managers too make it happen by using brains not brawn!.

Celgar the SWW is one of the of the four pillars, not additional.

Having watched the rm videos again i think ive worked out that the plan to grow gls is to nick the larger parcels off royal mail and introduce gls to the uk to do the lat deliverys, This is what the discreet van network will be, and as gls are part of rm group we will be given the chance to work for gls under gls terms which is the everyone who wants a job with rm will have one bit is.

GLS handle a lot of the specials going to Europe, which makes me wonder if they were to introduce GLS to the UK if they were to move all Tracked and SDs over to them.

Im telling everyone who will listen it's about the possibility/ likelihood of a "Gig Economy" business and/or a two tier workforce. In our latest WTL video there was a "kind of" promise that existing workers would retain similar wages and conditions but no promise for new recruits doing the second delivery.

Totally agree.
Add the Parcelforce tupe in to the mix - GLS for them too

We already have a two tier workforce. Those offices with proper duties working their 38 hours every week and those offices with tiny duties, finishing early and ghosting.

I guess there are two-tier Offices, also part time workers ATM (wrongly) only get paid for thier basic hours on holiday, but i was thinking more of wages and contracts, the new workers on 2nd Dels are going to be temporary is what I've heard. Anyone know different?
