Love the pics "New Labours Mandy doing nothing about the strike" hehehe

[NettoSuperstar!]

Does anyone actually know why theyre striking?

[andyman]

The Stinking Vile Conservatives would be against all unions if that sick and twisted party got into power.. Back to the dark ages for UK workers if The Stinking Vile Conservatives got into power..

Public spending cuts nearly 30%
More unemployed
Slow growth
The NHS being set back 20 years
Schools being closed
Labour fixing the Stinking Vile Conservative fk'd up mess years later..

Under Stinking Vile Conservatives this problem would be much worse..

[andyman]

The Stinking Vile Conservaties would cause mass unemployment with their anti-union policy and public spending cuts..

they are Lemmings

Decided to look into what the beef actually is....




"The reason this strike is unique is that it has nothing to do with pay. It is about the future of the Royal Mail itself.

Us postal workers are being portrayed as like dinosaurs clinging to our outdated and outmoded working practices. What the Royal Mail needs is a good dose of modernisation, we are told.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "modernisation". At times, the so-called "modernisation programme" is a farce. I know of someone working in a delivery office in Cambridgeshire who was in tears recently. Apparently he had been given 100 extra calls to make on his daily round but couldn't fit them into his shift. His manager told him he was going to receive "refresher training". When he asked what this involved, the manager replied: "How to walk faster."

Every Tuesday we have a "team talk" … It is at these team talks that we get to hear more about what the Royal Mail's plans are. What follows is the absolute truth. It is what the Royal Mail have told us they are considering for our future.

• We are all going to be issued with electric trolleys. Bikes are obviously not "modern" enough. So the entire stock of Royal Mail bicycles are to be scrapped.

This brings up a number of questions. How do we get the electric trolleys from the delivery office to the round? Presumably they will go at walking speed. Sometimes rounds are many miles away from the office, so they will have to be driven by vans. The current vans are too small, which means we need new vans. Also, what about maintenance? And how much will the whole exercise cost?

The advantage of a bike is that it can be ridden, it can be pushed; the entire stock of each office can be maintained by one man with minimal expertise (and anyway, Royal Mail bikes are almost unbreakable); they can carry a lot of weight, are easy to ride, and are generally a simple and dependable way of moving volumes of mail …

• "Starburst". The person who thought up the name obviously has theatrical tendencies. The rounds are all going to be collectivised. We are going to be driven out as teams in the backs of vans and then "burst" on to the streets delivering mail … Who do you want wandering up your garden path and peering into your windows: a familiar face who has been serving you and your family for years, or a bunch of strangers who come bursting out of a van?

• Later delivery times. Yes, even later. A new suggested start time of 7am will mean that no one will leave the office till 10.30 at the earliest, which will mean last delivery at 3pm or even later.

And so it goes on: innovation to the point of idiocy; modernisation but without purpose or sense of direction.

People don't realise that the average postie is still committed to the idea of service. It is the working conditions which make this increasingly difficult. We are being grossly overworked. "Flexible working" actually means fewer people doing more work. Staff vacancies are not being filled as a matter of policy. People being taken on are on a part-time basis. But here's the trick. New staff have 20- or 25-hour contracts, but they are being made to work full-time.

It's not that we stand against the idea of change: it's that the change has to make sense. It's not that we refuse to accept new working practices: it's that whatever we do has to be done in the spirit of best practice.

The Royal Mail is an ancient and venerable organisation. It is deeply loved by the public and by its workers. Let's hope that the people who currently hold the greatest responsibility don't destroy it for the rest of us."

ACAS
all will go - If Strikes are Stopped.

What does the CWU do - say No
they think going to ACAS with the Blackmail Weapon
of the next 3 days
of Evil National Post Strike.

Also The CWU Funds New Labour Party.

"Mark Baulch, a postman since 1983, and on the national executive of the Communication Workers Union, said: "Royal Mail are trying to portray us as dinosaurs when, in reality, the modernisation they are proposing means customers will be getting later deliveries and effectively worsening the service. The scale of the change that is being proposed is huge, and we want the right to be involved in that change."

He accused the management of "terrorising" workers. "Management are forcing their will … increasing workloads to an impossible level then punishing people for not being able to do it."

Merlin Reader, a full-time CWU union rep, said that today was the 15th time he had been on strike in recent months, costing him over Ł1,000. "This is a key battle. We're at the vanguard of an attack … on public services. The bankers' bonuses are back, there is money back in the city, and working people are having to pay for it. We have to win otherwise it would be a disaster, not just for us but for anyone who works for the public sector and believes in service before profit in this country."

[andyman]

Arista's Conservatives would sh*t all over the UK workers..

Fact! And its about time Arista knew some about the party he wants in power..

[andyman]

I'm sorry but Arista does not have a fking clue, what planet is he from?

Thats why ACAS is the Answer
but the Union(which also funds New Labour)
must stop the 3 Day Evil Strike , first.

They are not in Power, stop wasting your time.


Your New Labour is

Utter Fact.

[andyman]

The Utter Fact is that you think the Conservatives would do a better job...

By crushing the unions?

[andyman]

Yes they Will. (You and I will have to wait and see)
But you keep going on and on.


why not talk about this CWU Union that funds New Labour?

[andyman]

I would like to know where you get the idea from with the Conservaties sorting out the problem with crushing the unions?

This is in the Future.

I am talking about "Now"
you have nothing to say about this
CWU Union that funds New Labour

[andyman]

The problem would be much worse under the Conservaties.. Which for some fk'd up reason you want and for the unions to be crushed.

These strikes are nothing, i have seen worse and the postal strikes will come to an end. The needs of the management and workers will be met within time.

The Conservaties would make it worse with their anti-union policy, but you want them in power?
