This is a 13 strike since the end of August, 13 days and another five to come before Griffiths. But this is not just a dispute for Griffiths, this is a dispute for the new year if we can't get Simon Thompson to see say. They say what Royal Mount leaders want is a gig economy. They want people on self-employed, they want people on less terms and conditions, it's a total race at the bottom. They want to have later deliveries. It's going to decimate the industry. Thompson! Thompson! Thompson! Thompson! Thompson! Thompson! The one thing that Thompson has done is galvanised everybody in our determination to defeat him and his reckoning agenda for this business, this service, damaging our industry and putting the universal service up the coast of risk. We'd only be able to provide that, they're trying to destroy that, trying to break the will and spirit of this union and we're not going to let them do either. I have a message for three groups of people today. To the public, I want to set the record straight. Yes, part of this strike is about pay. But for me and thousands of my colleagues, it's about our jobs and the service we provide to you. We simply cannot afford to stand by and watch them destroy our terms and conditions and service that we love to provide. To the managers, wake up! It is up if you ask, if we'll happen to you. Because our jobs, you're on it. And to the both senior managers who take massive bonuses, while telling us there's nothing left for us, us, us, hostel workers, shame on you! It's an easy scary picture. We're talking if their plans go ahead as they want. We're talking about a completely different role now to what we've recognised for the last 500 years. He's offered a pay deal where he wants us to change everything. All the things that make a decent, reasonable job, they want to remove it and say they'll give us a pay rise of 9%. It's about four different parts. We actually don't say about a 27 pound pay list for a lot of our members. But the job security terms conditions, contracts of our people, it virtually destroys them. We're talking about maybe deliveries to every household three times a week. We must maintain what we've got to take that six-day week service. They're not interested in the letters. They're only interested in parcels and packets. And the problem they've got and they don't grasp is that we deliver to 33 million addresses. It's such a fantastic business opportunity. But they can't grasp it. Every time we go on strike, Simon Thompson's coming out with a different threat, compulsive redundancies, taking away allowances. Every single time there's another attack on us. So what I get rid of about 10,000 jobs, job cuts at the moment, but they're rid of those on one hand and then on the other hand they want to bring other people in doing the same job on where to turn some conditions. We cannot agree a situation when I keep you out of the door and at the same time bring self-incredent drivers in, bring owner drivers in and agency workers to casualize this industry. This is nothing against any of those workers. We want workers on proper pay, on proper jobs, proper contracts, hardly pay sick pay. They say they lose the million pound a day. They're not losing the million pound a day. They're making the million pound less profit than they did this time last year with eight, but they still make significant profits. £358 million. They made just months ago. What did they do with that money? Give £567 million pounds into the hands of shareholders. Some people say being a CEO is hard. Well, try being a person who works for them. Simon Thompson could never do my job. But after watching him on the BBC, the someone who I know sort of white boys for him, I'm down show like a genius. The posters at the heart of the community, right? Two years ago we were here, right? We were out there delivering packets, given letters, providing service to the public. This is what we do. And now Thompson wants to get rid of that. I've been a postman for every 30, one year now. I've got been on delivery for quite some time, but on a delivery I used to knock on the lady, used to knock on her house every morning just to make sure that she was okay, make sure that she got out of bed and was there ready for when her care had came. You know, we've got posters that have actually saved people's lives when they've noticed fires. This is called the Royal Mow, is it? We're going to keep it that way, aren't we? So we're going to have a little walk up to the Royal Palace to show them that postal workers do stand up for the service. We want Thompson out! We want Thompson out! We want Thompson out! We want Thompson out! We want Thompson out! We want Thompson out! We want Thompson out! We've had some members and representatives that have been suspended on some spurious reasons. They've been targeted, targeted so much post-easophalement, you know, over the country, so many have been suspended. There was at least 45 CW reps that were suspended. We've got six of our activists currently under investigation on Nuntan charges. We've had attacks on our own reps as well. We've got someone suspension at the moment of what we fill the Trump-Tap charges. My office needs to become the number one crisis office because we're really a strong team. So yeah, at the minute, we're targeting. The manager has been doing that for the last six months, ripping out our agreements and throwing in exactly the faction. The store is at it anyway. I mean, they're always on our backs. We just have to just not stoop to the level. They thought we had a medical grant, but Pearson recognized Union break-goes, done damage in Honda and Jaguar Land Rover. They thought we were going to do a job of work on us and we just got to make sure we're cut the steps ahead of it. This union does not put a pen to a piece of paper on any deal. Each and every one of those who have been totally in relief from work are back out work. We want to touch it up! We want to land on! We want to touch it up! If we lose this dispute, it'll be a target for every other union. The attacks will grow on them and they'll start losing as well. So they have to maintain it and support each other. And if we win this dispute, that's what we'll be telling other unions. You know, we won't. We stood strong. It's a great turn now and I'm really, really proud of the CW. I've been a rep 30-year-old. I've never known the membership as strong in the term as they are in this dispute. We're moving in at Christmas now. This is the time when we're really putting pressure on Royal Mow. And I believe they're really feeling it. On the 16th of January, we will be serving seven days nervous on the employer to do a new ballot for job security. I have a change and on the 13th of February, we are going to seat to me the 97% yes vote that you delivered in the summer. As much as you can, you and your families, have a... ...as nice a Christmas as you can. You've been brilliant. Keep that respect on the picket lines. Do the thing that you do best. Just be good, pay older you are. And we will win this dispute. You know that. We're not going to win. We're not going to win it. Pay attention! We won't stop now. We won't stop now. We won't stop now. We won't stop now. We won't stop now. We won't stop now.
