UNION MAKES CONCESSIONS AS TALKS BEGIN WITH ROYAL MAIL

[wallan]

RM may agree to the reduction in hour,s & average pay while on leave

source?

None , other than it could be A Sweetner for the CWU to accept less palatable proposals

[SpacePhoenix]

If every thing goes as planned , shoe box size & above will circulate through one of two ( possibly three ) Parcel / Packet Hubs , ie Atherstone or Warrington
When they arrive at the Inward M C or RDC they will be in Direct Yorks to the Delivery Office , this must reduce the amount of sorting at the Outward & Inward M C,s

For normal packets it won't make much difference as there's often only a couple of people on the large.

Will the hubs scan the barcodes of any Tracked that passes through them?

The hubs need to get used to the idea of also having packets come through that are smaller than a shoe box size, the separation of small from large by every MC is s**t. I don't think RDCs are too much better for yorks where stuff has entered the system direct at an RDC

Average pay while on leave,believe thats a national thing for different industries ,and royal mail are obliged to implement it ,so cant be a bargaining tool.

RM may agree to the reduction in hour,s & average pay while on leave

RM already signed upto the reduction in hours and average holiday pay is the law, the union have been very slack in regards to it.

The answer to a Royal Mail in the red is renationalisation not cuts.


Stopped reading at this point. A load of hard-left bollocks that will never happen until Jeremy Corbyn has been PM for at least 20 years.

If you stopped reading at the first sentence how do you know it was a load of hard-left bollocks?

The renationalisation rubbish.

Well the irony is the renationalisation of at least parts of Royal Mail may not be a left-wing solution but one driven by shareholder greed.

If the country still wants a USO and the business and its shareholders are unwilling to provide it at a loss the loss making part may well be dumped back in the government's lap in the same way that most of the rail network has.

Hard-right bollocks eh?

Very true , it is the Hedge Funds that have shorting the company and are crying out for Royal Mail to be split up!!

Then as with Education & Health to name but two Postal Services could be Devolved to the Four UK Parlimiaments for them to decide what level of service they were willing to subsidise in there countries

Its not the right time to be making negotiations with Royal Mail. Due to the pandemic with businesses going to the wall, higher unemployment and uncertainty that all plays into Royal Mail's favour. New Chairman/CEO makes an instant impact with 2,000 job losses, then we are losing a million quid a day in April, office revisions to improve our "efficiency" to then being told our revenue has gone up massively with increased parcel traffic but proportionally so has our COSTS. The Royal Mail propaganda machine has just started and expect it to go into overdrive during the next few weeks.

Let us look at this another way.

- Letters have been in terminal decline for YEARS. If we lost money on letters this year its the fact that most businesses have been closed!! Er Doh
- Was we losing a million quid a day lat year? No - Why? Oh my, its because there wasn't a pandemic. And it probably isn't going to be as devastating next year.
- How are office revisions going to save money?? Bigger duties are not always the answer. Our office had to put duties back in because the work wasn't getting covered. It went on overtime so unless the Lino's are going to do it.....
