To be honest a lot of long term members are thinking the same you can see it on their faces... You probably won't get anyone of sane mind to convince you otherwise

Re: The Job's F'D .. change my mind
The job always gets worse after every revision or negotiation.
Normally it’s a small change or a couple of alterations but this time is an all out demolition job.
I guess people will just have to either adjust or look elsewhere. The CWU has stopped fighting. The later finishes are coming. The minimum wage is ever nearer.
I’m not sure I can change your mind except to say that the job is no longer what it was.

Re: The Job's F'D .. change my mind
This is why some people are happy enough to take it as far as they can. And i can sort of see why, may as well just burn the house down its not worth saving for the future, i dont think it would ever really get to this but if i was younger i would be all for it. Seems to be the way of things and until somebody tackles the problem of these big business models and brings them to heel i think the original statement is correct, were all fecked!!

Dont get this its currently £13.31 ( inc del supp) p/h and will be £14.60 by 2025 ( if a yes vote), Lets not forget we arent putting ourselfs in halms way like an amry private or PC nor are we saving lives like a nurse or junior doc, we work hard but really its just pushing some paper through a door or handing a parcel over.k979aaa wrote: ↑23 Apr 2023, 16:48£11:59 to go through walls all our life it is not fair and who would do it day in day out?FilthyBloke wrote: ↑23 Apr 2023, 16:44The job always gets worse after every revision or negotiation.

I'm afraid the business are thinking like you. 1yearpostie is on even less money than 2yearpostie and I'm not sure they even get the delivery supplement.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

Re: The Job's F'D .. change my mind
Yet again 2yr another flippant dig at our job. "Just pushing paper through a door" if you are a postie you know its a lot more than that or we wouldnt be complaining and we would have accepted the deal already. Proper piece of work you are, glad i am fighting for your terms and conditions for you!!2yearpostie wrote: ↑23 Apr 2023, 16:58Dont get this its currently £13.31 ( inc del supp) p/h and will be £14.60 by 2025 ( if a yes vote), Lets not forget we arent putting ourselfs in halms way like an amry private or PC nor are we saving lives like a nurse or junior doc, we work hard but really its just pushing some paper through a door or handing a parcel over.k979aaa wrote: ↑23 Apr 2023, 16:48£11:59 to go through walls all our life it is not fair and who would do it day in day out?FilthyBloke wrote: ↑23 Apr 2023, 16:44The job always gets worse after every revision or negotiation.

Must be a joy to be around, blokes like you make retirement not come quick enough.
