Yeah I think that too, I've just done a rough calculation and I reckon the paid breaks are about 9% of our wage so any pay deal that includes losing them will need to be a pretty decent increase.

It has to be noted that much of what RM is doing, is outside of the agreement with the CWU. Much of what they are doing hasn’t even been agreed with OFCOM.

So it is unfair to blame the agreement for everything wrong that is happening. If something is occurring which you think is wrong, ask your rep about it, if they don’t have the answer, go higher.

Our employer hasn’t acted in good faith and we need to let managers know that we know, when they are acting out of scope.

I'm still at odds trying to understand how people voted yes to this absolute dog shite deal??!!! 🤔🫣🙄

Lose all rights, job is barely worth doing, all that striking for nothing, making these rich pigs at the top even richer while we on the front line suffer!

How in the hell were people that stupid to fall for the 1000 magic beans, I mean £1000. To accept this lousy deal???? Anyone who voted yes is a half-wit or was about to leave.

Any chance that this pathetic CWU will be replaced!
If you think that agreement was awful you best get ready for what's coming. Ward and Walsh are meeting with prospective buyers every week yet tell the members nothing. Walsh has already said the CWU will sell the USO to fund a pay rise in April. So it's simple, and classic CWU - productivity through job cuts in return for the tiniest of pay rises. If you don't boot the lazy bag avoiding full time trade union bureaucrats out then this is what's coming.

I think we all have to accept that the union is just the same as the company, trying to make sure they all keep getting paid and make money, this in turn goes against everything they are working for, so its a double edged sword.
Nothing nowadays is really a charity, even they have very rich people getting paid hundreds of thousands of pounds in charge.
All we can hope for is that at some stage they will look after us by stemming the deluge coming in our direction from RM, maybe they will get Dan the man to come in and change things, who knows.
But be under no illusions that if push really comes to shove the union will go into self preservation mode and throw us all under the nearest bus.

Perhaps if you spent a bit of time talking to your colleagues you would find out.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

But local reps do get paid by RM for their union work. It is all done in company time, and they are given release time for TU work. As such, they are paid the same as other posties yet do at least 20% less real work.
