Seriously funny!

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Terry spent a whole hour talking while simultaneously saying absolutely nothing. Tune in next week for the latest non update update.

Seriously though what can the union do apart from talk? How much support would another ballot for strike action get from both members and the public in the current crisis? If we do get a vote for strike action Royal mail will just get another injunction anyway. We have to be patient. RM want members to become frustrated. We must stay calm, be patient and stick together.

They could be honest with the membership, stop trying to play the big shot and get their own house in order. Improve representation and diversity throughout the branch structure. Start protecting members at office level. Clear out the old boys network and the glorified social clubs. Engage with Royal Mail on a professional level. Ditch the love affair with social media. Start acting like a union.
There's more but I don't want to do a Terry...

Use our collective strength to protect the weakest.
Lift people out of poverty.
Start acting like a union.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

People also need to start sticking up/standing up for themselves and not expecting the union to wipe their arse for them. Things are going to start getting even worse in the next 3 or 4 weeks with autumn pressure. Just do what you can to the best of your ability, the managers can earn their 2.7% sorting the leftovers out.
