Let’s ramp the strikes up on Royal Mail

3-4 days per strike is needed

Let’s show them we’re United ! Let’s stop farcing around with one day strikes
Rotational strikes are needed one day logistics then one day deliveries and so on !

We’re all ready for this

Dear Union.

The less militant members dont want and cant afford any more strikes and just want to go to work and get through winter as best they can.
Please get round the table and get the best deal you can on both issues, let us vote on it and then we can focus on more important issues.

Ta muchly.

Not militant by any means, never been on strike before in my life, however I'm not going to roll over and
have my tummy tickled like a good doggy for RM to walk all over hard fought terms and conditions.

The IA is the bargaining tool we have to get the best deal we can, without it they WILL walk all over us.
I think it was Woody who said 'If you fight you might lose, if you don't fight you will lose' - still stands.

We already have voted on it. That's why we're striking.

98% told RM to stick their plans where the sun don't shine, remember?

I agree there should be new talks though, urgently. Unfortunately it's RM who are refusing, not the Union.

£730 million profit was not earned by Simon but all of you while he was f***ing up test and trace for £37 billion of taxpayers money, we were earning and working while people were suffering yet he has little recollection of the facts just like the PM!

RM says it's Union who won't talk, Union says it's RM who won't talk, fps stop being so childish & sort something out.

It's all or nothing, and completely agree with extending the strike days longer. Most of the workforce are up for 4 or even 5 day strikes consecutively.

I personally don't think these one day strikes will do any impact if it continues. Not sure what it's like in all the offices up and down the country but most of our office is nearly clear but this is with overtime, hiring agency staff to clear the back log.

What gets my goat is they keep on saying to the union and us, we don't have enough money, but with hiring agency staff, hiring vans, shelling overtime like its Christmas and not forgetting the top executives helping themselves to more shares, I don't believe in a word Si & Co are saying that theres no more cash in the pot.

I would like to know what are goals are. I understand that we want more than 2% but how much.
Later starts and annualised hours, are we totally against these or are we fighting for the proposals to be watered down.

Whatever we can get without strings and recompense for anything else and help or assistance for anything other circumstances NOW! Don't think Simon does weekends or a full week of work!
