CWU Video:Royal Mail wanted total flexibility. They wanted to be able to force you to finish later and complete all work. They wanted to do all of this with little of no notice.

Every selling point of this agreement is , it could have been worse. , not look at what a fair and decent agreement we negotiated for you .

[denhamhoop]

Yes you will get the hours back yadda yadda until Royal Mail suddenly decide it's not working say around about June(Coincidentally around the time walks are due to work 35 hours) and tell the CWU time for a new deal or else we cut your Release then we will get the get British Bake Off Deal 2

this was posted on our union website as ''angry postie'' puts members questions to union leaders. he doesn't seem very angry to me. he was probably hand picked as well. but putting a bloke who's not that well clued up against the unions ''professional speakers'', our negotiators,...was pantomime to say the least. i wouldve like to seen someone with a bit more mettle tbh. some of the 'firebrands' that come on here couldve put them to the test.

And You have left us with "little of no choice"

In effect you have agreed.

[portadown]

I've said before it's us the members that decide if we accept the deal not the cwu are royalmail get the vote out to members and let us decide then we can move on

Does anyone honestly believe that lapsing/absorption will end completely? The agreement actually says that it will "significantly reduce lapsing"

The lapsing was originally introduced for 4 weeks during the summer and it's now all year round in our office. The reason being that it's down to local managers to maximise efficiency and make savings wherever they can under the caveat that workers are being paid for all the hours that they have worked.

Royal Mail still have the technology of PDA actuals and SISO data.

I know how they'll eradicate lapsing. You're no longer lapsing those streets off Duty 2, Duty 2's no more, those streets will magically appear on your frame monday morning.

We had 2 different meetings last night the cwu one was defeatist,depressing and a sell out the other was refreshing and what a union should really be about ,VOTE NO !!!! we are the members and Royal Mail will never move forward without its workforce we should not bow down to threats and an agenda to break its workforce into submission.

We have won nothing.

Our terms and conditions have worsened.

The intolerable workplace situation, unaddressed.

It can only be a vote No, to this lousy agreement.

Other unions must be looking aghast at us.

Then the other unions will be watching Ward n co
