Time to make a propper stand come on union

Thirdly, if Royal Mail do lock us out then there wouldn’t be a company and I very much doubt they would be legally allowed to do that.

Illegal eh? Have a read-

Also, not sure Royal Mail can move our work to singapore

We should announce a week of IA from the day after Black Friday as a minimum. Gives everyone time to make their provisions and will hit the company right at the peak sending the entire festive period into chaos.

Don't think the Xmas period is going to be anyway near as busy this year. Packets and Tracked are already way down

Hopefully that is down to the strikes and customers looking to use other couriers. That is exactly what we want and exactly what will make life extremely uncomfortable for Simon and Co.

I've heard (don't know if true but my gut feeling is that it is true) that RM has already lost some big contracts

Very witty I'm sure, but the point was refuting your claim of lockouts possibly being illegal.

for fecks sake ward/pullinger ballot us for an option for overtime ban!
if they do this we know exactly where the workers stand and if it's worth losing pay for because overtime is still rife at ours, those that want it are even better off than before we lose any strike money
JUST BALLOT US FFS! because we know what keeps them running but the MORONS at cwu are too scared of the narrow results whilst we suffer even more
don't they realise this would be the death of the cwu in rm the way it's going, simple & co are laughing their heads off at us

You do realise an ot ban will never work especially now in a cost of living crisis ffs. people are really struggling an finding it even tougher with a strike maybe your different an can afford to keep on striking for ever..an ile just repeat i will NEVER cross a picket line.

Yeah I'm struggling just had a huge vets bill but I still think we should be balloted for ot ban.we should have that option regardless.And I still do zero overtime as it is now because of IA and I'm very lazy.

We don't need a backlog of mail but the people who send stuff to change who they do business with most of these business are parcel related which we make money on. And will see us as unreliable it is not us but greed from above and an agender for change of OWNERSHIP!

i think you misunderstand the "hits" taken, every single working class person no matter what industry is will be hit, we're all suffering the price war, this is a UK hit not rm,
the CWU's objective is to obtain the best deal they can muster up on our behalf yes?
if we were allowed legally to do our minimum as per contract, no more no less then not a single person loses any contacted hours income
now if some actually rely on unplanned random income, then that's a different argument that bares no relevance to any current dispute.

all i'm saying is that we should be able to do our bare minimum at all times which will hit RM harder than us all losing money, but this requires a ballot to which uncle terry won't do because he knows it will be a very close call, folk at ours ft & pt still doing 70/80 hrs so absolutely zero effect when those are losing 100s on strike days
how hard is it to understand that a legal balloted overtime will lose it's members ABSOLUTLEY ZERO basic PAY apart from those that are living beyond their means reliant on overtime even before the dispute...all our bills go up the same regardless

50 posties in 1 office who all used to do regular overtime every single day but then in dispute and refuse is considered unofficial industrial action to which the cwu could get fined! they have very clever lawyers when we have zero
