    Last time we got behind the union us the workers got shafted. So forgive me if I have very little to no faith in CWU.

    Postal votes are simple to apply for through the Government website. As a person who opts out of the political fund I do not need to be told who I should vote for, Chloe. On another note, Royal Mail is a long way behind BT on the road of destruction in the name of a “level playing field” and the requirement for competition over efficient,competent service. How many will remember that they were both the Post Office, a civil service which gave its workers real status. So sad to see both as they are now. Having started in BT back in 1988 on a temporary contract, but remaining as a team member through the break up, working in Retail, Wholesale, Managed Accounts, CCC, Phonebooks, and finally Openreach. Proud to have known and worked with some amazing people, but sad remembering how much the management of people changed, destroying morale. Hoping that the forthcoming fact finding and negotiations can provide a better result for Royal Mail workers

    We was told to except a pay rise of £2 aday £10 a week from the union cause they kept telling us there's no more money left but all managers will get a nice bonus from £3,000 upwards. And what do postie's get nothing. Just get to feed the others as usual

    Those shares maths aint mathing.
    They're saying full timers would get £2,500 from the 939 free shares.
    939 shares x £3.70 per share = £3,474.3
