Well spotted Che. Obviously Mr. Klaus still has some Christmas spirit left and realised that whichever means he travelled by we will end up paying for it.
Regards,
Dancer.

Klaus from the Troika has more respect for the Paddy's money than the people who should care ever did.

CWU Branch Finances Issues

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 15:52:50 PST

My thanks to worried member for your interest and comments regarding my situation with CWU head office. In a final analysis it often seems like the General Decretary is not actually accountable to the members. do you know of any occasion when he has had to make answer for his actions or inactions?

Regards

Dancer

My thanks to Up the Deise for the comments regarding my problem in being "stone walled" by CWU head quarters and also the General Secretary's performance as against his promises.

Query on Branch Finances, General Secretaries performance

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 20:44:54 PST

The dancer’s difficulty in getting a response from headquarters and the General Secretary on what seems to be a very serious matter certainly was not envisaged by the General Secretary when he wrote his first couple of editorials in 2004

THe writer requesting information on branch accounts seems to have exhausted all the channels open to them. The way forward might be to bring his concerns to the Congress of Trade Unions who should be able to advise him on possible procedures.

The Future of Work
Roy Mayall 31 October 2011

With Christmas approaching, the Royal Mail is taking on 18,000 temporary staff to help cover the extra work. This happens every year. This year, though, all job enquires are being directed to a company called Angard Staffing Solutions Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Royal Mail. It doesn’t just handle temporary staff over Christmas. There appears to be no way to get a job as a postal worker these days except by going through Angard.

The normal contract is for 38 weeks (less for the temporary Christmas workers). Staff are employed by Angard but seconded to the Royal Mail. They are required to do any work that their Royal Mail manager requests, though they are officially supervised by an Angard manager. They are not guaranteed any regular hours, and have no fixed place of work (though they will not be required to work outside the UK). They will not be paid for hours they do not work. For this they will be paid the minimum wage: £6.08 an hour (£4.98 if you’re under 21). for complete article go to the following link http://www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2011/10/31/roy-mayall/the-future-of-work/
