10% Pay Rise

Post by TheTrolleyMan »

Is the CWU negotiating a 10% pay rise on condition we lose all delivery supplements ? Who exactly are the CWU representing ?

No idea if that's true or what but here's the figures if anyone's interested

Current 37hr pay £505.13
Delivery supplement £29.35
So £534.43

£505.13 plus 10% = £555.64

Which is effectively a 3.97 % increase.

I don’t know where this has come from, certainly wasn’t announced yesterday. Cwu has listed all that RM will have to pay over the next year or so and with that in mind, it’s doubtful that we’ll get anywhere near that. I hope I’m wrong.

Jesus Trolleyman, do you mean to tell me you believe what comes out of the area managers mouth, they lie for a living, be it lying to us or to the upper management, it's all they do.
Now it could be they might be telling the truth, in which case i will stand corrected...... but really tell the truth, you didn't really believe them did you?

They never mentioned it in their little vid but it could work out well as it would be tied into basic wage. Mind you they will probably slash the overtime rate but still demand you go over. Any takers?

Are they f**k. The CWU is simply a echo chamber telegraphing what ever Ward and Walsh nod their heads to in their secret meetings.

I'm expecting another union deal of the century where we get nothing as a pay rise in 2025, with the union praising management for not implementing a pay cut due to NI contributions for the company being increased! :cuppa
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

I dont think posties are paid enough for the work we do these days. I think a full-time postal worker should earn a salary of at least £30k a year if a train driver can earn twice as much. Come on CWU fight for us for a £30k salary.

FFS, we are pushing bits of paper through a hole in a door and knocking on said door with a parcel, why is that a 30k job? It's not like we're medical staff.

Area managers will be no where near the pay negotiations
