Atleast you have a job. I think your being a tad over the top there, if your working for that, then your just not all there, it's against the law. So report it. #
Re: the hospital apointment, why should the NHS of all people, WASTE vital cash on a "private" delivery firm, which could be used to treat somebody?
Jesus.. I am with RM of this one aswell. Why should you be paid anymore to clear the backlog you created? I mean, what the HELL?!?!?!
Talks arnt gonna happen properly as it seems RM are sticking to their guns. I think, all the VM employees should be dismissed and temps taking on through an agency..

Webcrawler, the fact that the country is in the state it is in, which by the way is not the fault of the Royal Mail Workers or Anyone other than the Government, is no reason for Workers Rights to be Ignored.
Do you not Get that?
The Health Service should have in place contingency plans, correct?
The RM ( not VM ) Workers are taking Lawful Action, you may find that inconvenient or not agree with it but that is their given right, a right that they pay weekly/monthly Subs to have.
Your suggestion would be as far as I know would be Illegal, but we will find out on Friday about that.
Royal Mail workers have not caused the backlog, the company and the workers combined failing to find a solution has caused the Backlog.
But ofcourse, feel free to sit on one side of the argument.
I do not know how old you are, but it has always been the practice that when there was extra work needed after a dispute the workers were paid the Going Rate, be that time and a half/Double time.
It happened in the car industry years ago Webcrawler, and those workers were paid their correct wages for the hours extra they worked.

I sympathise as I do think the government handed a very unfair situation to the Royal Mail management after giving away the money making parts of their service to other companies and leaving them with the very much reduced snail mail to try and make profit on.
Inevitably it was going to impinge onto the postal workers and their working conditions,pay and job security.
However destroying the goodwill of the public is no way to win their support.  |
I can totally understand your point Mags.
But tell me, will public goodwill put food on the table or pay their mortgages etc?
Are you willing to say to the Workers " Tell you what, get my documents to Barclays and I will pay this months Mortgage for you " ?
Ofcourse not, so it leaves the situation as it is at the moment.
There does come a time when workers feel agrieved that a line has to be drawn in the sand, whether or not you agree with their reasoning.
