Oh yes at the WTL Sessions the managers have dangled the carrot of saying " oh you will keep your allowances for up to 3 years" Big deal what happens then OH YEA WE ALL HAVE A PAY CUT!!!!!!!!

This is what happened to me 3 years ago. I'm an AG, when we (though not me) accepted all the strings regarding the single delivery. My early shift allowance was protected for 3 years and guess what, time's up. I'm now Â£10 a week worse off. I didn't kick up a fuss then as we all voted 'yes' and the full timers didn't give a toss, but as I said then and again now, 3 years goes real fast. Maybe this will convince some of the idiots in the company that we all need to stand firm this time, no matter how long it takes and how much it hurts. If we don't, I won't enjoy saying it in 3 years time but I will "I told you so" If anyones doubts it, just remember how fast this job is going down the drain, if RM win this time, we won't have a union, protection, benefits, allowances, anything. We'll be working for a private company that's only interested in profits for the shareholders,(not much of a change I know).
Remember we voted for a strike this time, don't give in to easy.

We all want a quiet life mate.

Our current rep is in his third stint in 18 years. He's thrown his hand in twice before. Our new sub rep is the man to trust in our office. No scandal attached to him and what's more, the screws hate him.

Try suggesting to him a vote of no confidence and a re-election unless he actually represents the views of the members.

. might sound out the no confidence vote.

said it before,
hardest job in RM.
But rep should have backbone and stand up against proposals that are 99.9% going to
in favour of Royal fail.
We had a vote of no confidence against one but he was up against the most evil b*******d on the planet.

Postie, are you talking about the rep that mysteriously went ill on strike day and didn't picket

Later start times have been agreed in principle at York Delivery Office by our rep.... a certain [EDITED BY POSTMAN:NO NAMES PLEASE]
all this without consulting the members! So could someone please tell me what we are on strike for? When our own union rep is basically going against the CWU and its members!!! I do hope Dave Ward knows that some of the CWU Reps are letting him down and all the hard working members who pay their subs weekly ....and for what?
So why bother going out on strike this friday when our union rep seems to have already made his mind up on behalf of his members???
Royal Mail will win in the end due to the apparent cracks and widening divides that are already happening within the CWU!
I for one will be cancelling my union subs due to lack of support from my union rep!
