Didn’t answer the question
What a useless apology! The mail I posted almost a month age is yet to get to it recipient.
Big CEO's all seem to think a minor pay increase needs to come with a tonne of sacrifices from the workers. Why do postal workers have to give up so much to get the much needed pay increase?
Did he answer the questions, I didn't hear it if he did
9% pay rise. How about tell the public what the catch is Simon.
I posted a large letter at a post office in Chelmsford 22 November '22 it's now 28 November 2022 my letter has still not arrived in Brentwood just 10 miles away, how the f–k can the post office workers demand a pay rise, when they are clearly not working! I now have to reprint . 24 A4 sheets of accounts and drive to Brentwood my self. Using the royal mail is like putting your letters in a rubbish bin and paying for the privilege, shocking company!
I'm not sure we do want a 7 day postal service 🤔
No mention of the 400 million in shareholder dividends? They're trying to turn the company into uber, a day work here and a day there etc.
I worked really hard throughout the pandemic for Royal mail, only to watch them take on external staff for the full time jobs. There was no payrise over those 3 years either.
My friend works for a job agency which provides seasonal workers for royal mail. She is given 5 hours of work from 10pm to 3am. She waits around after work for 2 hours till 5 am when the public transport resumes. It's shamful treatment for such conditions and she makes £45 each day only to have £30 net left due to paying for her transport and food.
Can some one explain how 2% already paid 3.5% on offer now not backdated to April when pay increase was due and 1.5% next April becomes 9% over 18 months my maths makes that 7% must be the 2% bonus one of payment non pensionable offered if and when offices agree to revisions but it's not an add on to future earning power
Thompson is just a greedy man. It isn't pay I'm totally concerned about, it's the lack of human rights terms and conditions he's trying to bring in.
Can't really complain about pay for what they do, I have been in much more demanding jobs for a lot less money.
Just shelled out a load of money to managers again though 👍
Total flannel from Royal Mail. Trotted out statistics, but wasn't questioned properly. FACT: They made big profits and handed out big dividends recently, so can afford to give a decent payrise to posties instead of creaming all the profits for themselves.
Cold fish. no feeling for your workers.
So u want to turn RM into something like amazon delivering parcels. Who's going to post letters and junk like that then? Also your wanting workers to use their own vehicles to deliver these parcels, work a 7 day week from 11am till 19:00pm. U give them a pay rise and they will need to put that towards their insurance because they will need to change it to business use and other. Them striking isn't all about the pay it's all this other stuff too and I don't blame them. Not just that threatening with redundancies when u don't really have enough staff to do the job as it is.
1st class mail now takes 5 days to arrive which has a negative effect on my business. And we have seen a big down turn on sales. For a SME, this is not good as we my have to layoff workers.
Everyones a victim in 2022, poor little me, boo hoo
I am waiting for my medication from Pharmacy 2U. Thanks to the CWU, I have still not received it.
Almost let he’s true intentions slip at 6mins, the cream! Than he will be gone a long with the billionaire after all the stripping of workers & assets are done! Nothing long term about there plans or actions to provide & maintain the quality of service Royal Mail is known for both for customers & employees. He’s very competent at making a mess & blaming others, perhaps he will go into politics next, he did work on test & trace shortly before joining Royal Mail
