Lots of rumours around that they are close....but it seems like 6 into 8 is all RM will accept if they go with the heavy and light version of reform. Seems very similar to 3 into 4 to me but I'm sure it will be spun as a win.
If you do some very basic maths, like divide each number by 2, (the lowest common denominator) then 6 into 8 looks very much like 3 into 4.
The cake is the cake. It's not how it's cut that is the problem. The problem is what the CWU has already agreed - the delivery profile of the traffic. Unless that changes it doesn't matter how many slices of cake there are.

It would be absolutely incredible if after all this the union come out saying 6 into 8 is better than 3 into 4. I’ll put nothing past these con artists running the show though so let’s see what happens this month. Hey maybe Chris Webb could update us via video as we haven’t seen him in a while…….
He’s nicked your union subs :left:
The idea that Webb did that is nonsense. He would do nothing to harm his beloved CWU. What he did do was upset the full time release mob who went out of their way to make sure they took back the power they felt they lost to the Comms department. Its classic British trade unionism bullshit. Work shy charlatans all squabbling over their little empires.

I’m sure ‘Where’s Walshy’ will provide an update soon. Bet when it comes to re-election time he’ll be posting like mad here.
The day is gonna come when we’re all gonna have to testify.

Is there ANYBODY who thinks there will be an agreement reached at close of play on Monday?
I’d genuinely be interested to hear.

Was Gingerbread Fred posting in jest? Am I wrong to take the contents of his post more or less at face value?
