Only if the companies choose to fund wage increases with higher prices instead of lower profits.

bitontheslide 26-06-2022 05:21 PM

what we have now is not typical inflation. Typical inflation occurs when people have too much money in their pockets, driving demand for goods skywards. On this occasion, people dont have enough money in their pockets for basic subsistence, they need more money to survive and to afford essential utilities and services. So the mantra that pay rises feeds inflation is complete bollocks, because the inflation is entirely related to energy prices that are immune to the effects of rising pay

So Royal Mail ballot is in over 92% voted to strike.

Gusto Brunt 18-08-2022 07:34 AM

I couldn't give a sh** about any Royal Mail strike. It's about a year since I stopped ordering anything online. I was tired of waiting in for the deliveries.

Also, i rarely get physical mail (letters). All my bills and bank statements are online. Last letter I got was four days ago from the HMRC, and even that, there is a copy on my online account and I got an email notification.

arista 26-08-2022 11:37 AM

They are now on strike
The Union Boss Dave Ward CWU claims the Company is
having secret talks to become like their competitor
away from the Union.

Royal Mail offered 2% rise
the Union want around 10%

Royal Mail says their Competitors
work until 10PM
The union are not on
board with that.

Gusto Brunt 31-08-2022 09:08 AM

A company I am not keen on (to put it mildly) have been trying to send me letters hoping I will respond.

I never do and I never will.:hee:

So I think (I looked out of the window) they sent a Record Delivery letter yesterday but because our doorbell is disabled (brilliant thing), the postman was unable to deliver the RDL by hand. So he went away. I'm right, a Recorded Delivery cannot be just shoved through the letterbox?

You won't find him there.
He'll not even say he fully supports their cause and grievances.

He needs a real wake up call.
His avoidance of full support is really annoying me now.

The Union
claims Royal Mail
have manufactured this dispute

arista 08-09-2022 06:28 AM

Another Royal Mail Strike,


The Union Boss claims
Royal Mail is to be taken over by another company?

bitontheslide 08-09-2022 07:34 AM

arista 08-09-2022 07:37 AM

Yes Today and Friday,

I would expect Saturday to not be good
for delivery.

arista 09-09-2022 10:06 AM

[Unions representing Royal Mail postal workers
and rail staff said that "out of respect for her service to
the country and her family" they had chosen
to cancel immediate strike action.]
