Royal Mail workers say 'escalating strikes is our only leverage'

[Kenfandango]

Who creates it? and should the people who create it be permitted to charge interest on it?
If you could answer the question without the waffle it would be much appreciated.

Some say waffle, some say "I'm very tired and depressed, and I'm entertaining myself fleetingly by deliberately answering your question in an obtuse manner." I'll stop, sorry!

It is true though that Royal Mail is being run by shape-shifting lizards.

Are they immigrant lizards driving our wages down or are they indigenous to these isles?

When left leaning publications such as the Socialist Worker and Moaning Star star attacking the Union Leadership in their approach to this dispute, serious questions need to be asked and can no longer be brushed under the carpet.

Employees have lost between £1500-£2000 and for what, more platitudes.

People are demanding affirmative action, not more smoky rooms tea and sandwiches.

So you’re wanting us to strike. You’ve changed your tune

Employees would have lost a lot more without a Union to represent us. You only have to look at the direction of the employer regarding new entrants, sick pay and v/r. They're hoping to split us.
It really makes me laugh how people on here mock the Union. Ohhh I'm coming out of the Union if this or that. You're playing into Royal Mail's hands.
They want to change the sick pay because it'll save them millions, not because of the small minority of naughty people. Don't believe their bullshit!
Same as the selfish people talking about the new entrants on lesser everything. As soon as they join Royal Mail, they are one of us and should expect the same as us. I would strike for this alone.
The £1500 is a carrot that a lot of people on here would take willingly. I've got no interest in bonuses, I want it in basic.
Have you also noticed that the s**t deal separates Parcelforce and Fleet from us again?

So who has negotiated the s--t deal that separates pforce an fleet from us again.. surely not cwu??

You've lost me, what are you talking about? Nothing has been negotiated yet, and more importantly, who are you? as you are not an OPG.
This has again been enforced by the senior managers who don't want a deal. Did you not listen to the CWU video?

Your words (have you also noticed that the s--t deal separates us from parcelforce an fleet from us again).you never mind who i am also happy to say been a postie for 28 years.listended to video for 5 mins gave up as all i heard was the company is in a bad financial state.aye my bank account is also missing a lot of money due to striking.

We have our different views, I'll agree to that. I'm pro Union, always will be.
The last offer from Royal Mail, I believe was not agreed by the Union. It was the company trying to enforce change again.
You should have listened longer than 5 mins, as it was quite informative. We've all took a hit with strikes, but imagine working life without a Union?
Oh and with your 28 years, I will always listen to, and try to take in what my juniors are saying.

Have backed every strike whether ive voted yes r no. No it was not agreed with thats why there is no deal. Why have the sly dig at the end?? so childish you were the 1 who said i was not an opg now please reply respectfully. your the 1st person ive heard saying cwu have said anything informative. another deadline passed so whats the pivotal excuse this time.

First person, are you sure? There's an awful lot of whingers on here.
The joke about seniority will always be there, and that's all it was. You should always respect the people more senior, and long may it continue.
