"Come on lads, they are asking for more money to deliver letters with no qualifications...
Well apart from a driving license.
I think they are lucky with the money they get, but think the strikes have sealed the fate of many"

What qualifications Simon the CEO got? do you know?

@ AngerSharkz
"That’s a very noble suggestion….but given there are clearly strong opinions here and I don’t have the ability to appease people when I think they’re wrong, I don’t think there’s much chance of that happening"

we can get the mediation team involved, we use this process all the time with RM and CWU.
You two need to make up!

Who here would love to see wolvesposty and AngerSharkz kiss and make up?

I would donate money to a charity of their choice if they up for it.

@ HH1AN2
"The share price is low because of poor management from top to bottom..not all but a lot are not really managers...a lot I've seen when there's a problem have to be .....advised what to do by staff as they are like rabbits in the headlights"

so true, majority of them applied for management roles because the full time contract. Just to up the hours.

@ AngerSharkz
We all disappear if Putin presses the button!
why would the union disappear?

@ wolvesposty
I can confirm the hardest part of the job its the delivery!

@ Teslo
"until @Wolves entered the fray and starting trolling @Anger I thought the discussion today was reasonable''
what did you expect, the clue its in the name, Anger. He was born angry :)

Can everyone stop fighting for 1 day and lets have some proper debate?
Can someone let me know what companies did Simon work before joining RM. Did he do any good work in his previous roles? what I mean is, did he leave the company he worked for better or worst financially.
This battle between the CWU and Royal Mail meant to happen prior Covid. Simon only got the job because Rico was sent back to his Swiss castle because of political pressure. The union was aware that eventually this fight will take place.

@ IsleworthSpy and @ AngerSharkz

so much anger from both of you, I am ordering both of you to go and have a w a n k to calm down :)

@ OliGarch
I just asked a CMA rep about managerial redundancies and he said that RM have 150 managerial vacancies. He is talking about delivery offices.

@ teslo
"Maybe Dave and Simon should just have a straightener and settle it the old-fashioned way''
Thats not fair fight, Dave is heavyweight and Simon is already injured in the face, any more injuries Simon will need darth vader mask. anyway my money will be on Dave!

@ AngerSharkz
For the kind of money they get where are their ideas? I dont really care how much they get as long as they have ideas to grow the company. I only earn 29.400 a year and I have more ideas than the CEO. Why RM have not gone into the frozen food market for delivery? Why RM have not gone into cargo business, why RM dont start a business to offer the service Amazon offer. We have better network and reach than Amazon why dont they make use of it. I am not saying offer what amazon offer but you can start with 20 to 30 products and build.

In the end all the top boys they there for short term and they want to maximise their profits, jump ship and go to other company and do the same.
You are aware that they selling their own buildings and move delivery offices into rent. in long run how stupid is this? They only care short term!

@ AngerSharkz
If we are in such dire situation why do RM reward the top clowns ?
Simon Thompson, £753k/yr + £140k bonus
Mick Jeavons, £1.3m/yr + £847k bonuses
Martin Seidenberg, £1.6m/yr + £1m bonuses

plus 900.000 shares for free few weeks back.
Let the leaders of Royal Mail show the way to the rest of employees with no more free money award to themselves and the rest of us will follow. During the pandemic those clowns were sitting in their homes doing some zoom calls and thanking the posties for keeping the country connected. I did not see them refuse the 300.000 shares given for free because the company don't have any money. Just because you are CEO don't mean that you not morally bankrupt!
This clowns do not have any ideas the potential RM have, we go to 32 million address daily (not on strike days) and all they come up with to make money is to attack the workforce. It was the CWU that pushed for tracked items to be delivered in the afternoon and Sunday. The management did not want to entertain the idea of working afternoon and Sunday. Guess what, they still think the same. Please tell me what ideas the CEO has to make money without attacking the workforce. I remember 6 years ago I was the one saying in CWU briefing we deliver to every house in the country, why dont we pick up the packets from customers for next day delivery like our competitors do. It took RM 3 to 4 years to implement it. The top people within RM dont have a scooby do and in my opinion they are crooks!

@ Dowsie3
Don't mean he is getting paid. I would say in every office 95 % do not take the **** with the sick policy. Dowsie3 example is not the normal, I know someone that in 33 years of service he had 1 week sick due to covid and he still wanted to come in.

@AngerSharkz
"Dave and Terry work purely out of the kindness of their own heart. They don’t get paid in money, they get paid on the smiles of posties and the happiness of children"

Dave and Terry are elected by the membership, if the membership are not happy they can replace next election. Any CWU member can go for any position within the union. They certainly do not get 300.000 shares for free like Simon and the rest.

@ teslo
The CWU is not against change, the change has to work for both RM and CWU members. The problem RM have is that the management don't want change either or do not have the knowledge to implement the change. Anyone that works for RM will understand what I am saying. Few months back they paid lots of managers redundancy money because they did not need them, they went out and employed other managers with less money but it don't make sense what they doing. My office we suppose to have 3 managers and no rest day covers for them but instead we have 4 sometime 5 managers in there. Simon says he got no money but plenty of money for managers. I can honestly say that RM is very badly managed.

@teslo
''Finally, is there another company out there that pays 6 months of sick leave on full pay?''
Yes you do have other organisation that pay 6 months full pay. The sick pay its not forever. If you run out of full pay and half pay it can take you 4 years of work to get the same again, that's 4 years of no sick pay. You have to understand that the posties job its physical work and you have greater chance of injury. the problem is when you get that injury if you don't have some sort of private health care it can take forever for NHS to sort out. My opinion is RM should send anyone on long term sick to private health care, it will cost less than someone sits home for 3 to 4 months to see a NHS consultant or wait for operation. This is where RM are not thinking clearly and could save money.
Some of the injury the posties get like plantar fasciitis can be sorted out quick, instead they take forever for NHS to deal with. This is where RM should act.

@teslo
yes my friend most of the posties are over 55, thanks for your kind words but we are used to cold weather, probably shorts and jumper. I do read what everyone says and for time to time I may post.
here something that we both agree: the time to buy is when there's blood in the streets. I wonder who said this first?

@teslo, is HR stands for heartless rats ?

well done wolvesposty, they never understand the pride you feel when you fight for something in life. Last strike was ****ing down with rain and we did not move from the picket line. I bet AngerSharks deep down is good person and he gives his postie £20.00 for Christmas.
