At least we need more PDA and spare vans to start the shift in time instead of waiting till somebody come back and you can grab the PDA or they van. Every day losing 30 min for nothing 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻
What exactly are you doing for the staff of royal mail because what i see is agency staff increasing in mail centrer CH , an are concerned is are jobs .with this take over are you going to cave in and let businesses get there way or are going help us to stay British with jobs security for staff an running businesses better for public .
Mon to Fri dave
We are constantly hearing about the delivery offices, which I guess is the unions bread and butter in terms of paid members, but more focus needs to be given to the parcel hubs.
Legacy members are being targeted for dismissal based on sickness and conduct. Forced out of the business, to be replaced by staff on these inferior contracts and agency staff.
Sickness is at a record high due to the demands and constant pressure.
Wake up, see what's going on, and protect all members!
Just get us Monday to Friday in delivery
Dave i like say we right at the beginning again .
I'm only 6 minutes in but 2 things so far.
I genuinely believe the company is making it as bad as they possibly can so people become prepared to roll the dice on change.
People having a day off and coming back to two days worth of work, that's literally the change they are proposing.
Hang on: so you've met with Kretinsky many many times? You said there is no way we are selling a National Institute (Treasure) to foreign asset strippers 2 weeks ago? We all know if K getrs RM postmans/womens jobs are definitely going…
CWU, did you also discussed your role as a union with Kretinsky ?; if government approve their takeover of IDS the present owner of Royal Mail.

Push for Monday to Friday working.
Royal Mail you are a joke!
Mon to Fri please
Thank goodness that someone has the intelligence to see that there may have been criminal activity by managers against CWU Reps. I was one of them and was physically exhausted and mentally battered and my only crime was, being a good Rep defending my brutalised members. Why did this union allow this to happen and when are you going to get these rogue managers out? Secondly you say that the current USO is posting to all addresses 6 days per week. When is this going to start, because offices throughout the country are failing. If this is breaking the law, let’s pursue this through the proper channels.
If you have a problem…..sort it out yourselves.
Get us older ones EVR please please
Don't you think the same board will be running royalmail for kretinsky
Nice to see daves still totally out of touch with us delivery offices who are getting hammerd everyday with unworkable conditions, rogue managers crap working conditions, i have emailed phoned text head office a few times to speak to dave directly, no reply, its the usual blah blah blah, 18 months ago they had the biggest ever yes vote for industial action and bottled it, i wonder if next yrs pay talks have started yet? Be the usual crap 2% no doubt, offer me evr please so i can get out of this hell hole after 37 yrs
Sounds like another ballot and more strike acrion, the new owner is definately going to asset strip to recoup some of his investment under the banner of effiency, the government have no money and the union will be powerless, with the whole agenda being set by the previous CEO, Parcelforce the now bulk parcel arm of Royal Mail will be the first casualty and divested to whoever shows a hint of interest, a prime example of a business that couldn't be run any worse than it already is.
Twp or Three Days no day off cover or sick cover we currently have 11 of on sick and two in recovery, i suffer from plantar fasciitis but still get sent out on walks i have an OHA report to help me out but it is overlooked in my opinion.
Revision happening in my office now… Extra 15 mins added to the delivery span and for that I've had 200+ delivery points added and they revised all my established loops that work to ones that wont. Clueless.
