Andy51 is right, although I wouldn’t express myself in such a manner. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, me included.
So here it goes. Comparing a nurse too a Postie, is like comparing apples and oranges. A nurse takes Years of training, a Postie, and I don’t want to sound disrespectful, takes a few weeks to become efficient.
Our wages and terms of conditions as I have already stated, are for unskilled workers very good. Full time, in London, with this new deal, if there is a yes vote, we be over £26000, we additional earning opportunities. I personally cannot remember when I earnt less then £35000 a year.
Our hourly rate will be over £13 an hour. For a unskilled job. I get for over 20 years service 6 weeks holiday a week. Plus very generous sick leave .
This all cost money! And don’t forget, the business has over 100,000 employees.
In my opinion, if this deal gets rejected, I very much doubt that we will be offered a better one. And if there is strike action to try to squeeze more from them, and the consequences being that we lose contracts because of it, expect to find yourselves being asked to reapply for your job at considerably less money, and inferior T&C.
That is why I’m voting YES.
