The reason EVRI performance was good at Xmas, was because they dumped everything they couldn't deliver on Royal Mail . They do it EVRI year; as do Amazon. Our other problem was getting left in the **** when a certain board member cancelled all the hire vans.

Some good news. Retail sales up last month with on line sales up 3.6%.

Mike . The loss of the 6 day week uso obligation wouldn't cause any job losses. Already understaffed and the spare staff from day off cover would just end up working Sundays. Those not on delivery don't seem to realise what an absolute shambles it is in DO's at the moment. With morale so low, any favours posties have done for years to make sure all deliveries went out , has literally ended. Many are exhausted after being hammered all through covid pulling in extra walks. Management has also given up and the silence on conference calls is deafening. They just get screamed at for not pulling rabbits out the hat.

No still holding and buying JB . Just pointing out to those that think we will settle for what's on the table are kidding themselves. Simon CEO insisted on strings this morning when I messaged him.

Dan23. Traffic is up 25 % on pre covid levels. Letters are also up this year( the board won't like that , now we are a parcel company)

If you think those on delivery will settle for a strings attached pay rise then I suggest you sell your shares now. I spoke with Simon Thompson on workplace this morning and it looks like any pay deal will definitely have strings but no compulsory Sunday working. So a strike will definitely be ON .

Most of us would be happy with 4 to 5 % no strings. But that's the problem. They will insist on strings so it will be a pay cut.

If you believe the CEO has the companies interests at heart then I think your in for a shock. Cancelling hire vans at Xmas is not the sign of a good leader.

Not sure why you get that idea. I have a problem with the **** poor wage rise being offered that can only encourage more people to leave resulting in a much poorer service. We all know the company is heading for a fine for poor 1st and 2nd class delivery rates. That can only get worse with less staff. I want Royal Mail to thrive like most of the workforce do, we thought we had a new CEO that was looking to grow the company but unfortunately this isn't the case. Afterall we are shareholders too.

Nail on the head Red Ceo. Why would any youngsters work for Royal Mail when there are plenty of vacancies elsewhere, many paying better wages for far less strenuous work. Most that do get taken on in deliveries leave within a very short time. Older workers that get taken on look to the past thinking , home by ten and a bag of mail to deliver. When they realise its 10 or 12 bags , a van full of parcels and a 3 o clock if lucky finish and 10 to 15 mile walk with a heavy bag on there backs they soon leave or go sick.
It's now getting to the stage where part timers are leaving to join Amazon( which says it all). Like I said if shareholders want poorly paid workers then don't go crying when Royal Mail lose contracts and the share plummets. Remember, we lost the Passport and driving licence contracts due to cheap foreign Labour being employed by agency workers years ago ( mostly using Special Delivery service , our most profitable mail)

JMC 66 . Its at least 10 years that any Royal Mail employee apart from Senior management have received a wage rise that has matched inflation let alone exceeded it. Hence why postman get closer to the minimum wage every year. I'm surprised that share holders would want cheap labour working for Royal Mail because the result will be a poorer service, theft and fraud. End game of lost contracts with companies and no trust from the public. Shares will soon plummet.

Or could it be that long termers are buying in before the price goes up after the results ?

Red Ceo . If you take the % increase into account it is still a minimum £12 pay cut for workers. Some will lose far more. The Sunday allowances you talk about will also be gone , because Sunday will be a normal working day.
The company has been replacing every full timer that leaves with a part timer on 25 hours for at least 5 years now. This way they could in effect force them to do overtime due to low wages when needed. Now these part timers are finding they can earn more , or get full time jobs elsewhere, they are leaving in droves . Once they are told they will have to work 1 in 4 Sundays for no extra pay , it will be a stampede as many are women with children. Royal Mail has been failing to deliver the mail for the last year and with a recruitment ban in place it can only get worse. As has already been mentioned, some very heavy fines are coming Royal Mails way. Most Royal Mail workers care about the company and its customers and will go the extra mile to help. The board don't give a toss about customers, which is showing by deliveries not going out in every office, callers offices being open 2 hours a day for parcel collection and drop offs and the usual cut cut culture.

The conditions attached Redceo mean that they will lose payments that were secured in previous pay deals. One is door to doors. Previously (10 +years ago) posties took up to 3 d2ds a week. They were paid anything between 0 .67p and about 1.5p per d2d per house. So if you took 3 it was anything between 2p and 4.5p per house. Royal Mail told us that if we were to take up to 6 d2ds per week they would give us about £20 a week guaranteed, no matter how many we took. It was voted on and agreed. Many posties put them together in their own time either at home or before or after a shift. Add the loss of driving allowances , shift allowances and it adds up to a minimum of £ 12 pounds a week pay cut if you except the terms Royal Mail are offering . Not forgetting we will also have to work Sundays. Not great is it ?

Angersharkz . Royal Mail can build as many parcel hubs as they want, without the front line workers to deliver the parcels, no extra business will be created. You only have to look at delivery performance released this week to see that. You can keep expecting posties to deliver 2 walks a day. The new CEO had the workers on side, unfortunately he blew it. The board let him down with very bad decisions at Christmas and now expecting the workers to take a pay cut is just ludicrous. Every worker will be at least £12 a week worse off. I can't see the CEO and board ever winning the trust of the workers back. Its a shame because we all believed that we had a new CEO that wanted to expand and grow Royal Mail instead of the usual cut cut cut.

Don't think the cwu will be bothered about drivers Scamp. It will save them having to use agency drivers which to be honest aren't the brightest bunch and cost Royal Mail a fortune. Most of them do half the runs that Royal Mail drivers do.

Peaky yam yam once worked at Brum Airport for Monarch before being made redundant from driving the rubbish cart and is so well off he now works for staff line as a hobby. As a child he built a rocket out of lego and landed on the moon. What a ??

Peaky blinder sits on his fat arse driving all day and pops into a mail centre now and again whilst working for staff line cause he can't actually get a proper job and keep it. This makes him an expert on deliveries an area his lazy fat arse has never been near. We have had many Peaky Blinders start working for Royal Mail deliveries over the years and not lasted more than 2 weeks. When quitting the usual reply was I didn't realise it would be this hard. To think this is from a bloke from staff line, that climbs in and out of a cab a couple of times a day and spends the rest of his time eating and drinking tea. Next he will be telling us he drove by Parliament once so knows how to run the country. What a ****womble.

Always make me laugh the clueless arsewipes on here that think we drink tea all days. Not sure how that's done whilst walking 15 miles a day ??

Maximus. Try telling that to the last CEO. Thought he could walk over the workers and got his arse kicked. Won't be easy for a board to implement changes when managers across the whole of Royal Mail Don't agree with them and are also in dispute with the same board. The majority of managers are in full support of the workers and in most offices the workers are in support of the managers in how badly they have also been treated. Those at the top are so out of touch it is unbelievable. If they carry on the way they have done since before Xmas Royal Mail will no longer exist. They have been behind one catastrophe after another, and have been bailed out time after time by the workforce pulling together to get them out the ****. Now that all trust in the board has gone and goodwill is out the window Royal Mail is on a massive slippery slope.
