What exactly is the pension deficit ?

It's a surplus, not a deficit. There's loads of money left over from a closed scheme, it should go to the members of that scheme, the union wants to give it to new starters.

Sounds like the current government.

How can they give it to new starters, if they haven't paid a penny into it? The only people who get it, should be the ones who have paid into it.

Why does this Martin Walsh geezer come on here whining about members opinions all the time....

he doesn't care for our opinions....

I'll tell you what has always been downhill is the CWU Live Chat on Youtube. Years ago I made an inoffensive comment criticising something about the CWU and was instantly blocked....shut down and shut up by my own union. I never get personal, or abusive, or swear in any opinions I have.... yet whoever deals with the CWU Youtube chat and blocks people willy-nilly shouldn't be working for the CWU. I cannot ask questions on the live chat, and haven't been able to for years - it's ridiculous. Yet Martin wants to come on here and complain about people having an opinion.... it sums everything up.

The CWU is like Royal Mail, they only have time for YES MEN.
