betthearm:solarpunkwobbly:In the next few days and weeks you’ll see issues with Royal Mail in the news. You’ll see the union are preparing for a strike. You’ll see the news try and put the union in a bad light and make them out to be the bad guys. They couldn’t be more wrong. We’ve had an agreement in place for over a year and all we are asking for, is for this agreement to be honoured. Instead the CEO is trying to bleed the company dry and destroy our service, and we are simply trying to protect it. Many postal staff wake up at 4am every day, working in all weather conditions facing all sorts of hazards with a busy workload that dictates what time we get home to our families, all to provide you with the service you deserve. We may strike for a day, we may strike for two but compared to what would happen if we didn’t it’s minimal disruption. Don’t fall for the media lies. Instead of asking why we would strike close to Christmas or a general election which we didn’t even know the dates for, ask yourself why Royal Mail aren’t honouring their agreement. They’ve had months to sit down and talk with the CWU National Officers, but have treated the mediation talks with very little respect. You have to ask yourself why would RM do that? All we ask the British Public to do is back your Postman and Women and show them your support, they deserve it.Supportnyour local letter carriers. They work damn hard. -- source link
