I'm so worried
Not for myself but for others. After the last couple of years with Covid and now a war. Also the cost of living issues rising inflation, petrol prices, food prices, energy prices etc. I feel many posties have felt safe and reassured that working for RM has been a type of comfort blanket. Now to see what the hierarchy want to do to that safety net with the proposed T&C changes I’m heartbroken.

The current hierarchy are on the way out the door with golden goodbye. They are making the biggest mistake of their lives taking on the working man. A change is coming. Stand with your union and it will be bumpy for a while but the alternative is 1000 times worse

Re: I’m so worried
You're not alone. I have heard young fit hard working posties who have only been with us a few years saying that they don't want to work for Royal Mail anymore due to what we have been through these last two years and then when things get back to normality after covid they come out with a shitty pay offer and crazy proposals.barrychuckle wrote: ↑21 Jun 2022, 22:06Not for myself but for others.

Those sat in the ivory towers haven't got a clue what the first lockdown was like when nobody knew about covid. When we were paranoind about touching gates, paranoid about touching parcels and letters, paranoid about touching our own food we were about to eat and was there any sanitizer back then. Was there f**k.
But still we ploughed on and did our bit, whilst the nation slowly went eshopping crazy.
And still we ploughed on working our socks off and it got busier and busier and busier.
And know this...

This is it, Covid has been quickly forgotten about by Thompson and Co. We are being tossed by the side of the road with a value of zero. I for one can't wait to vote yes !!!

Using facemasks made compulsory 7 months into a global pandemic.
Zero social distancing (just wash your hands).
Half the workforce on the sick.
Packet volumes tripled overnight. Then doubled again at Xmas.
All while they have Zoom meetings from home.

Royal Mail never gave a second thought about the health and anxieties of its workforce and still doesn’t.
But Hey,we got £200 (pro rata) out of it!

Re: I’m so worried
You forgot about the part when the CWU wanted us to work through the pandemic delivering essential supplies and how they pushed us as key workers which were soon forgotten about just like the rest of the key workers except for NHS staff who get tickets for music gigs.iHateD2Ds wrote: ↑22 Jun 2022, 18:07What kind of company promotes and pushes a new collect from home service during a Pandemic!yubin282 wrote: ↑22 Jun 2022, 15:55Was Covid ever recognised by RM ?derricksmyth wrote: ↑22 Jun 2022, 14:51This is it, Covid has been quickly forgotten about by Thompson and Co.
