With regards to balancing the contracts between new starters, will there still be a two tier system where people recruited within the last year or so have to work Sundays?
All sounds a bit too good to be true. What's in it for kretinsky?
How can you offer VR to offices that are "trialling" the new USO plan? That would suggest that it's not a trial.
Hi Dave here, evening gents. Will there be a review of cotractual hrs from part time to fulltime, I think that this would help to reduce the lack of mail being delivered hence making us more efficent.
Need to raise pay to at least £15 an hour, we have lost a lot of our best staff because pay is so low now.
5.30 'we had an agreement that was legally binding after privitisation' and R.M.decided to rip it'….Whats to stop them ripping up this one …or any one when it suits them.Potential agreements sound good though fair play
the 11,000 employees being offered a full time contract on legacy terms, are those employees already aware of this offer or is it still to be determined who get this offer?
All that sounds good but we are just about to have a new revision put it, the worse I've seen in my 25 years with single slots to fit in mail and d2ds. Things are bad now and this will make things worse and make working very stressful. Can we put a stop to all these stupid 2.0 revisions!!???
What's the stance on wfh permanent instead of 3 days in the office?
Dont hold your breath its all bullshit
Good work !!
He will asset strip royal mail sold down the river
Is it possible to change from 40 hours contract to 37 hours full time contract? Thanks
My pension is their money – Dave Ward……
I wont VR wen can we expect to get it neck year
Are you going to make the workload more achievable?
so i am currently 32 hours part time being made up to 37 hours full time for the xmas period. come january 1st i will be made permanent 37 hours full time? manager claims to know nothing of this?
Good luck with that, this will end up being a fire and rehire job
Bring back my bundle benefit for employee
When will our shares be bought out????
Less agency more pay for employees on overtime
This maybe the best way of going forward . As long as no links to the Kremlin, and the person that likes to illegally invade other countries .
Having worked in the railway for over 22 years . Balfour Beatty and Network Rail . I have known of corruption in the privatised railway industry.
I was briefly an RMT union representative ,keep the faith keep calm and carry on . Believe me , this is maybe the best way forward. If it fails then it has to be re nationalised.
Just remember, Royal Mail isn't all about delivery offices and postmen on delivery.
There are other postie sectors that are equally important that help run the company.
CWU, the enhancing of contract from part time to full time contract, will EP Group do it in Mail Centres also ? considering work goes to those 2 Super Hubs and also changes is going to happen for USO.
Why bother? They are useless!
With all the items discussed in this briefing the one thing that isn’t mentioned and I get constantly asked when confronted by the general public right up to the entrance (literally) of the mail centre doors on a daily basis is “why is the callers office only open two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon” and I have no sensible reason to give them because there isn’t any reason? this was Royal Mails trump card you could come down and collect your items basically whatever you need to!
Never mind the nonsense I'd like to know if we are getting a pay rise especially as you won't get new starters if they realise we only getting just above the minimum wage not good
Need them over Christmas, but will they deliver?
Another video where they claim to be our saviours and exclaim "look at the great deal we've secured for you all". Meanwhile in the real world members are currently firefighting every day up and down the country in every workplace against the horrendous deal you agreed last time. Until members see real change for the better in the workplace then these videos are all just hot air.
Ever heard the saying that if it sounds too good to be true it usually is?
I hope this takeover is a good one but actions speak louder than words so time will tell……..but I'm not especially hopeful.
Im on 35 hrs and was told by our DOM that i wasn't allowed to put in for a full time duty that came up as they had too many full time staff. Been working for RM for 13 years and still can't get a full time duty.
So if your not on a variational contract but you’ve worked full time hours for over 5 years even tho your on a part time contract you won’t be one of the 11,000 because you never got the variational contract ?
Once a SCAB ALLWAYS A SCAB, ian Mastertons Auld Mawwww😂😂😂, DiG Deep for Dave
The proof of the pudding is always in the eating. We'll see how this tastes in the months following the completion of the transaction.
Few things stood out in that podcast; “A strong Union that doesn’t run aways from anything”. That’s not strictly correct; just look back at the dispute and the surrender agreement that included 100’s of Reps battered, suspended or dismissed and all they got was; it’s ok, just go back to work and behave. You did run away and allowed Royal Mail to dictate the dispute end, 1000’s of good honest OPG’s left the business and 1000’s left the CWU. The other point made over and over; “we’re going to help grow the business”, but you didn’t say how and now employees are believing that they cannot grow the business at the current days and hours, so does Sunday come into play? As someone else commented; it all sounds too good to be true, however we have no choice but trust that you are honest enough to tell all the truths and do not detriment our working conditions anymore than they are now.
An actual direction versus the pathetic shareholder selloff/suckoff? Royal Mail should not be failing (which it is). The amount of money to be made is huge.
Splitting the pension surplus with pension fund and Royal mail.So posties are financing their own demise
Peter mandelson wanted to privatise Royal mail.
The other guys needs better fitting glasses

I've been working for parcel force for 9 years, when I started we where getting paid £4 over minimum wage now it's less than a pound. I'm living day to day I need money in my wage packet,can't see my future here working for what is basically a minimum wage company. The pressure put on me everyday to deliver more and more is not worth it. I could work in a local shop for about the same money and a lot less stress
