We bring you just one weekends postings on the employers internal social media platform from Royal Mail Group CEO Simon Thompson.

He is literally torturing our members 24/7.

Please RT this so more people see what’s going on.

#StandByYourPost
Saturday lunchtime and he is telling the union we must read, reflect and agree his surrender document.

#StandByYourPost
Still Saturday lunchtime and he’s telling the union to ‘speed up’ and threatening to remove the pay offer.

#StandByYourPost
Saturday evening and he’s posting photos of himself depicted as Scrooge.

#StandByYourPost
Early this morning and he’s quoting a tweet where one of our members talks about mental health issues and using it for leverage.

#StandByYourPost
Sunday lunchtime and he is falsely accusing one of our reps and a whole section of union of making memes about him. He later had to admit he was wrong and edit the post.

#StandByYourPost
Tonight and he’s completely making up that he thought we would endorse the surrender document - despite us publicly posting our rejection of it at 12:14 yesterday.

#StandByYourPost
Tonight and he’s accusing the CWU of being ‘busy’ when sharing a clip of @Matthew_Wright exposing him and his plans.

#StandByYourPost
Remember this is one of the UKs greatest companies. The CEO of Royal Mail Group is one of the most prestigious roles in UK business.

Our members deserve better. Our customers deserve better.

Please stand with us.

PLEASE RT this thread.

Today Royal Mail Group have called together every postal worker in the UK and announced they want to make 10,000 redundancies.

This is nothing but an intimidation tactic aimed at crushing the spirit of our members #StandByYourPost
General Secretary @DaveWardGS “The announcement is the result of gross mismanagement and a failed business agenda of ending daily deliveries, a wholesale levelling-down of the terms, pay and conditions of postal workers, and turning Royal Mail into a gig economy style courier.
“What the company should be doing is abandoning its asset-stripping strategy and building the future based on utilising the competitive edge it already has in its deliveries to 32 million addresses across the country.

Last night @IanKingSky published an article stating the union should be worried about our position on the Royal Mail Group plans to ‘modernise’

Ian didn’t offer us a chance to comment so here’s a thread 🧵
Ian said the company needed to modernise. What he didn’t say was that Royal Mail want to put some workers start times back 3 hours. That’s mail arriving 3 hours later than it does now.

In what way is modernisation getting the product to the customer later?
Ian talked about the view and influence of shareholders. What Ian didn’t say is that Royal Mail have given those shareholders a billion pounds since privatisation.

PLEASE RT THIS THREAD TO SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL POSTIE

This is the story of a union and a membership that wants to serve the nation. Next time someone talks about union dinosaurs direct them here......
Two weeks ago the CWU returned a huge 94.5% yes vote for strike action in our long running dispute with Royal Mail.

We didn’t call action.We put the country first and called on Royal Mail and government to use postal workers to keep communities connected google.co.uk/amp/s/metro.co…
We wrote to @BorisJohnson offering to check on the elderly, delivery medicine and connect communities

Our members continued to work in difficult circumstances. Some of the lack of PPE, dirty workplaces and lack of social distancing are a disgrace

A THREAD PLEASE RT THE HELL OUT OF THIS

Royal Mail Group – a thread on how the British Postal Service has been attacked and why you must support postal workers to save it #WeRiseAgain 🦁
In May 2013 Royal Mail announced £400m profits – public money going back into public services – A company doing well thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/art…
In October 2013 the Con-Dem government privatised Royal Mail in nothing more than an ideological move. It was undervalued by up to £1.5 BILLION – imagine the schools, police, hospitals this could have funded theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/f…
