You have to be deluded to think Royal Mail will consider any of your points... They have broken you very easly last dispute, split the workforce and now are on track to sack as many old guard members as possible. I support my regional reps but I shall never stand with others on picket line again as it doesn't result in any good for workers.
Everything Kretinsky has proposed, has a timescale of 5 years! After that time lapses? He’s free to do what he wants regardless! Pensions? Contracts? Sell offs? All this is his end goal, before handing letters back to the government to deal with! The future is bleak unless the 5 year promise is taken off the table! Also the man is well versed in business law, so be careful with the wording, in any agreement struck!
At our Parcelforce depo we haven’t had a union rep since the strikes from 2 years ago…. I’ve mentioned this in the past but clearly Dave Ward isn’t following up , how can things be sorted , or the workforce not loosing respect for the CWU, if we don’t even have any union representation at work for Só long? I don’t understand why the CWU hasn’t done a check on the Royal Mail and Parcelforce depos across the country to see the number of depos without union representatives!! What are we paying for? 🤦🏻♂️.
Worked at RM for 15 years, never set eyes on a union rep, we’ve got a phone number that’s disconnected and a email address with a full inbox. I think we’re all coming out of it soon
How many voted for it because the union black mailed them about extra money which was coming out way whichever way the vote went. Bunch of sheep who could make their own mind up and they are the ones crying about all the changes they agreed to 🤡🤡🤡
Union solidarity strong as it gets Xmas '22.Less than a month later the exec led by Ward does a 180 and decides no more action while R.M.railroads any amount of executive action.Then recomends acceptance of the shiteiest of deals...Looks like someone got leaned on from where I was sat....Oh and the reason the USO isn't profitable has been downstream access for years...years! With no challenge
Cost cutting has already started . Royal Mail has abandoned the railway, and air for deliveries nationwide in the UK . I have witnessed no parcel deliveries on one day at Glasgow due to issues on the UK motorway network. This can not go on . Having had many years on the railway and was an RMT railway union rep . I think the Royal Mails abandonment of using the railway for postal and parcels delivery could open an opportunity for railway passenger companies to offer a parcels service . Britain had Red Star a nationwide railway delivery service prior to Railway Privatisation, this thing could come back . Trains no longer have guards vans but a small amount of parcels could travel via the driver in drivers cab. The Royal Mail has many late in the evening parcel deliveries because they have abandoned the use of the railway for nation wide deliveries. No quality of service with everything going on the roads .
I left my post today as agency staff are being paid 20 an hour while we are being expected to do much more work load for 12.45, Royal mail is certainly not the best company and will not win in terms of the parcel war, I'm not waiting around for months to get a pay rise of probably 50p an hour, good riddence to this two tier crap whole
You have lost the dressing room and have not once acknowledged how disillusioned and let down people feel with the upper echelons of the union. Your answers are “oh it could have been so much worse” “Royal Mail wanted this..” so you count that as a win when in reality this isn’t how people feel whatsoever and the sooner the people who were responsible in bending over to the company and being done dry admit this, we will never move forward. Agreeing to worsening sick pay terms in a physical, outdoor job. Unforgivable and quite frankly sickening.
Royal Mail must be haemorrhaging money with the amount of white vans they are hiring, there’s just been a delivery of about 40 small white vans to the mail centre, that with the 30 or so 7.5 tonne vans I would say it’s about 40 to 50 grand per week …. Madness
All the things on your wish list are admirable, however this union showed they weakness during the dispute and the CWU will never repeat the record breaking ballot support again. Royal Mail or the new owner will continue to exploit the fact that the threat of strike action is gone.
So nothing has changed 😂 still talking all this time , I doubt Royal well agree anything that CWU come up with more likely roll over cwu an carry on regarding what ever cwu say .plus no one well go on strike .
Some very positive words here. They seem to know the problems most are facing especially new entrants which I still find bizarre the company can get away with. Let's hope they pull through. Well see
Iv been a postie for 6 years and do 8 rounds. I have been told to have my hours upped on my original salary contract I would have to accept a new contract that are given to new starters. I refuse to work every other Sunday when my contract was before covid hit. There are others in my office that don’t work as hard as myself and are on better contracts than me
7 months employed not one Saturday off yet.no company sick pay and 6 hours on streets walking for 13 56 a hour .no winter uniform.and now I'm suffering with arthritis because of the load what are we got to look forward to.the new generation
Try waiting 5 years for your first Saturday off. Started in 1999, first Saturday off was 2004. Those were the “good old days” when everyone started at 5 a.m. and the full timers finished before the part timers.

When is Dave Ward up for election? Or has he got this gig for life?
Next year. You throwing your hat in the ring? Great to see people interested
Nobody has any faith in the CWU anymore..broken promises, you had the full support of the members before, this will never happen again.
@@MarkMarks-hb3uy if they ever strike again will be more scabs then strikers
@@kimpitman4228they'll struggle to get a YES vote so can't see us on strike again
Just want to be offered VR terms I’ll go on the cheap

No meetings on office for over 9 months no rep in office area reps in managers pocket

30 hours a week and 12.50/hour working every sunday, who let that happen???????
You have zero chance of changing contracts for new entrants.
The only reason they keep trotting that bs out is to keep the new members joining the union
The cwu recommended to us to Accept a deal which put new Entrants on inferior terms and conditions 😢

Go back as agency then.
@anonanon1791 no I would rather just be rid of royal mail altogether anonanon1791

BS...'new entrants pay was imposed by the company' but wasnt it part of the 'pay rise deal' that the CWU said vote YES too????

Never ever a mention of the LGV drivers and the multitude of problems we face on a daily/nightly basis.
Mate go work in a DO for a week and you’ll go skipping back to your LGV lifestyle
