""Members should be aware that Simon Thompson was due to be at the talks on Monday – he did not attend. In this meeting Royal Mail Group indicated that they were open to a fresh approach. Simon Thompson instead chose to subsequently brief operational managers and sabotage the process.""

And some people think it's the cwu that are not open to negotiate. Go figure.

What would you consider a fair deal concerning pay and terms and conditions?

I accept of course you cannot go into a long dialogue...but just sum it up in a couple of sentences.

I've said from the very beginning I would be happy with a 5-6% pay rise and I feel the majority of posties would be more than happy with that. As far a change goes I am in total agreement that change is needed , we are way behind the competition and have been for a long while. I am in agreement with siso , job and knock is just not sustainable anymore and it doesn't promote fairness in the workplace , however , like someone commented the other day I don't think this is going to have the desired effect royal mail think it will as people will stop coming in early and working through their breaks to finish earlier if they are actually made to work to their finish time. That's just my opinion of course.
Sick pay does definitely need to change and there are far too many people that abuse it . I think sorting just these couple of things would weed out the wheat from the chaff and then once things are settled and we know where we are staff wise we can look at revising the duties ( as I'm sure they will look a lot different when people are forced to do it properly ) and then we can stop hiring agency , saving thousands and finally work towards growing the business .
This is what o would like to see , however I just don't trust that this is our ceo's aim , Purley based on the passed years performance.
All very simplified of course but that's why I'm just a driver and I pay and trust other people to get us to this point. What other choice do we have as employees.

Hahha you literally can't stop yourself posting can you angry, keep em coming loser , they're getting funnier by the minute . Your dog is still waiting for his walk BTW.

Lol calm down anger you're going to hurt yourself. So much bitterness and insults , what's up mate? I thought you were going out anyway? Sun hurt your eyes too much?

The unions have already played their nuclear strike card, what have they got left to threaten?

Incorrect , we have showed our nuclear strike plan , we haven't yet played it . Which is why Thomson has gone straight to his nuclear option and threatened staff. What have we got left ?? December

Hahaha sounds like a child leaving an argument they just lost doesn't it. True colours.

Hahaha and there it is as usual . You're arguments get questioned so you close down the debate as usual . Funnily enough , exactly like Thomson does the minute he's asked to explain.
Enjoy your walk mate. Take sunscreen, it's been a while since you saw sunlight.

You really are a tool aren't you. You've blatantly just used the same spin as RM are doing . Either you are just doing it sonic fits your rhetoric or you really are that stupid that you don't even know you're doing it. Let me correct you again.

Times maybe a bit harder this year but you still have £2500 to spend on a holiday and because things are a bit tougher you only tip the waiter (shareholders) £5 instead of £20.

Clearer for you flower? Jeesus.

Shut up you absolute melt . Instead of gobbling off like a bratty child and just saying four people have already told you , actually argue the point. You can't say in one breathe that last years figures don't matter and then use then very same figures to say the company is loosing £1m a day you idiot. What about that is going over your head. Non wonder you're sh7t at investment if you can't even understand that. Talk about embarrassing.

Bagenator thank you for your input.
" What happened last year or ten years ago has no bearing on what a company earns this year."

Thank you for reinforcing my point. What happened last year has absolutely no bearing and the 1m daily loss rhetoric can not be reached without using it.

""Royal Mail employees going on strike is a bit like block buster staff going on strike, outside of the company absolutely no one cares""

If that is true then that suits us fine . But I'm pretty sure it affects the shareholders and the fat cats that have been the only people benefitting from the massive profits that were made last year, hence why there is so much bitterness on this forum.

""The reason you’re striking rather than quitting is because you can’t get the same remuneration""

Again , we'll done , you are correct. And we are taking strike action to keep that very remuneration because the idiots running this company are decimating it.

Phunt, it doesn't matter what the profit was, that was last year. £1m loss per day is happening now
So simx , if you are totally discounting last years profits you have nothing to compare this years profits to , so now explain to me how we are loosing 1m a day without using last years figures? Seriously, genuine question.

I have not once gone to "work" on a strike day so once again anger you are talking out of your ar$e . No change there then.

Try reading something other than SimonThomson.com and you might find out you sad little man . That's if you can drag yourself away from this forum for a couple of minutes that is .

Sometimes, I post to see the reaction I get just to amuse myself.

Thanks for the reply clown.

How very mature of you. Get out much ?

You both harp on about the cwu only talking about 758 million profits and 400m to shareholders and then you say its not factual. But do you not realise you don't say the same thing about royal mail constantly banging on about 1m loss a day even though this figure is actually not a loss. Its just less profit post pandemic as apposed to not as much profit during the pandemic. You are just clearly biased because it suits your narrative and you blame the workers and the cwu because you're all upset that it's put you in the red with your investments . It's pathetic honestly. Ask yourselves , why do we rarley see Thomson in the media defending his arguments ? I'll tell you why , because he gets caught out and can't answer the questions and he looks ridiculous and the same goes for his cronies. Wake up . Idiots.

Jesus toslo, do you even read this forum ? I've just read through your very long post and it's exactly the same drivel ( pretty much verbatum ) anger puts out on a daily basis .

You are such a pen7s anger . Have you ever actually considered that your opinion ( because that's all it is) is actually wrong and that other people that actually have something to do with the business know more that you do ? Of corse you haven't. Absolute cretin mate . I know you won't let this post lie and just think about it , you will have to do your obligatory boring repetitive response but just for your information I won't see it until tonight because I actually have a life and don't spend it on here all day every day like you do so crack on son.

Lmao , lots of very angry Jesse livermore wannabes this morning and a lot of "I told you so's being slung around . Actually WE told you so , where is the huge dividends you were bringing about a while back? I'll tell you where , in the gutter with your high averages and your diminishing SP. Get your heads out of the sand and realise that the losses being predicted would not be half as bad if the mugs running this company hadn't paid out all the profits to saddos like anger sitting behind a computer hoping to make a quick buck instead of rewarding the workers that actually earned that money for them. How's that working out for you now?
I also can't believe how surprised you all are about today's announcement either. Of corse RM are going to spin this narrative , that's all they have to fight with to detract from the fact that they've fukked up royally ( pardon the pun). If any of you actually had any true knowledge of the business or actually worked for it in some capacity you would know that they can't even cope with today's low volumes without hiring 1000's of agency on a daily basis so how are they going to manage with 6000 less staff? The only reason they would want to get rid of that many is purley to fire and rehire on lower t&c's , which is exactly what the union is fighting you noobs.

Are you for real? Do you actually have a clue about anything? I know you struggle with spelling but this isn't that hard to understand. Do you seriously think we can just put a holiday form in on strike days ? Idiot.
Only pre booked leave will be honered. What would you have me do ? Cancel my leave and not make them have to pay me on a strike day? I know you have a strange obsession with ducks but you truly are quackers.

I'm on annual leave tomorrow so no actually, but thanks for you're concern ;)
