If there is no agreement before Xmas, be prepared for a tsunami of executive action beginning of January!

As opposed to the exact same action if we accept their surrender document?

[richietns]

This is an attempt to save his face to reassure public he tries to save Christmas as pressure is onto him. He doesn't want a deal. I reckon this Christmas is already written off and they are going to destroy the company anyway. Many have mentioned the executive action from January onwards. This is awaits us. This parasite seems to be employed to destroy royal mail and cwu. Ofcom should be all over him as well as government but something tells me neither will happen. We are doomed. If there is no progress this week we may as well start going back in. Final call to start actively looking for another job.

You can go back in early im not giving in to this in your words parasite.

I appreciate it's hardly the most important aspect of his letter, but I do find his poor literacy skills quite annoying.

Are you talking about all those split infinitives in his letter?

... I think ST hoped that currys etc would not move their business elsewhere and just ride through the strikes. Losing that much money and the realisation of losing more has made ST blink first!

We will find out soon..............

Prior to Currys withdrawing their use of Royal Mail, did ALL their parcels and packets come in as Tracked, or did smaller or inexpensive items come submitted as standard non-tracked first and second class (which Currys might have found out were just being piled up for days or weeks, going nowhere fast)?

Can't remember seeing a Currys branded parcel for a very very long time. Did they use us much? It might be because
the Curry's boss was on Laura K's high profile programme Sunday morning speaking about dropping RM - not good 'optics' as they
say, perhaps giving food for thought to other companies to drop RM.

Well yes, among other things such as an incomplete sentence and general sloppiness..!

I've been RM for 2 years and I don't think I've seen a single Currys parcel, do they use Parcelforce?

I've bought some small items and they came tracked 24, didn't have Currys written all over the packaging so probably wouldn't have noticed without looking at the return address.
