The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Carry on Screaming, happens in my office everyday :nervous

Just keep on walking down never ending streets

BALLS! THEY DID US IN 2007!

The Postal Executive will only agree it if they believe it is a fair especially as we are two months away from the Postal Executive elections.
BALLS! SOME STILL REMEMBER THE NINE SC*BS!

Branch `s will only recommend a deal if they believe it is a fair deal.
BALLS! MOST ONLY EXIST ON PAPER AND WILL DO AS TOLD BY HQ!

The majority of members will in the main vote on the Branch recommendation or national recommendations. I know a lot of members will refute that but I have seen the breakdown on most of the big agreements in the past and that is fact. Of course some members will make up their own decision regardless of the recommendation be that from reading the agreement or this site.
OF COURSE THEY WILL CAUSE HQ WILL OFFER NO ALTERNATIVE BUT SOME PEOPLE WILL LOOK AT THE COST HQ WANT US TO PAY!

Of course some groups of activists workers liberty , SWP and a few other groups will campaign against any deal
PEOPLE THAT LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE AND YOU CAN ADD PEOPLE WITH NO AFFILIATIONS LIKE MYSELF AS WELL!

The big unknown question is whether a big campaign of Branch`s against the agreement takes place or not.
WHO STARTS THAT CAMPAIGN WITH A FRAGMENTED MEMBERSHIP AND AN HQ HELL BENT ON SUCKING UP TO RM, GOVERNMENT AND EUROPE?

But of course we dont have a deal as yet ! and no one can make an informed decison until you have read all the words and the rationale for any agreement.
YEAH WE CAN! MORE JOB CUTS AND POSTIES BEING BRIBED WITH THE MONEY THEY HAVE ALREADY EARNT
