We'll see when the ballots get counted one month from now how many members there are vis-a-vis the number of eligible voters.

Proportionally, RMG employees have dominated the CWU since inception in 1995.
Members in BT Group/Openreach are almost certainly the next largest component: 40,000 according to CWU press releases from the BT dispute.
The next largest telecom network is Virgin Media, whose engineers topped out around 2,000 in 2020. Sky has let 3,000 engineers and others go in the last few years - the remaining might account for a few thousand.
Post Office employees only comprise 1,400 and Parcelforce is rolled in with RMG (UKPIL and PFW).
Representation amongst other couriers is known to be miniscule as the CWU prefers to agitate in call centres, where no amount of recruitment is going to muster 50,000 paid-up members to explain away several tens of thousands of phantom RMG employees.

If the CWU didn't get their membership lists sorted out after the last dispute they'll find themselves dragged into court again.

They ll tell us what figures we want to hear so it suits them..

[pinstripe]

In previous ballots only RMG CWU members could vote on RMG ballots. The ballots are sent out and returned to, and counted by an independent company. Jeez, is this the first ballot you lot have taken part in?

[yellowbelly]

Number of eligible voters in last years pay ballot was 97,121.

No further breakdown obviously.

Numbers are published in various ways every year. Sometimes it’s for equality purposes, sometimes by business etc.
