I do not understand why you attack your own union? Baffles me every time i see a senseless comment like that. A union is only as strong as the workforce who back it. Ive been with royal mail 22years and in the last 10 years its royal mail who keep shafting us not the union!. Unfortunately many postal employees play right into their hands by not supporting official strikes or protests.Even worse there are still posties going into work before there start times to try and get an earlier finish or "finish on time" as some say. What a joke they are. You are paid to do your hours so work them! if there is too much workload tell your manager.Its his problem not ours to sort out. If you can only manage to take 2 thirds of your round out then its up to your manager to sort out how the rest is to be done.
There are also Posties using their own cars for delivery!!!! I cant believe that they dont realize how much damage that has done to jobs within the royal mail over the last 10 years. We aint a public service anymore we are run as a business by some of the poorest management ever seen at such high levels.
As i remember it wasnt the union who were singing praises about these colleague shares it was ROYAL MAIL! . Our union in Liverpool always doubted that they would amount to anything in the end. We were never ever going to profit from them.
What is a disgrace and baffles me is how come we made huge savings and record Profits just over a year ago. Where has the Money gone? Who is responsible for such obscene action against its workforce? The colleague share farce is only a beginning of the downfall of Royal Mail.
They should be named shamed and brought to justice!
ROYAL MAIL IS OFFICIALLY A JOKE! GET BEHIND YOUR UNION IF YOU WANT TO LIMIT THE DAMAGE THEY HAVE DONE TO OUR WORKFORCE.
The Union cant repair or prevent a lot of the damage done but they can certainly make sure its not half as bad as it could be if left UNCHALLENGED.
So get a thinking head on and see the real picture.

You would have lost your door 2 door leaflet payments if the union hadnt agreed this pay deal. Let me set you straight with FACTS so that you stop moaning about a £20 quid supplement that is supposedly worse than you were gona get.

FACT 1: Door2door payments were to be reduced to about 5 - 7 quid under royal mails plans! They planned and still are planning to wrap up 2 7 door 2 door in 1 bundle so that you only got paid for 1 leaflet! £20 dont sound so bad now does it? The Union prevented this from happening and yes for some posties(inc myself) we are £10 worse off. Better than being up to £30 quid worse off under Royal mail terms.
Fact 2: Indoor staff are better off with their pay.Think about other workforce for once guys!.

FACT 3: The union forced the royal mail to accept that door2door be recognized as part of delivery workload, This meant that the union prevented 1000s more job losses and made sure that walks were not gona be the monstrous sizes they could have been. It also meant that full time ratio across the country rose. This was VItal.

So like i said before OPEN your eyes and dont give me your moaning bullcrap when you are clueless about how life in Royal Mail actually is. You clearly dont know anything

[dave0876]

Full time Ratio increased my god do you work in A do you buffon not one person made upto full time as im aware

[Drake]

Full time Ratio increased my god do you work in A do you buffon not one person made upto full time as im aware

Oh yes they have

Well on paper that would have been fine but what Bob Gibson etc forgot to do was get a clear agreement on BSI/IWT and
also negotiated some dodgy prep times for D2D,so when it they pressed the IWT button in my office we ended up with 30
mins less overall prep time than before the introduction of D2D into workload.
