A question for Dave Ward

Got a question for a CWU Rep? And all CWU related matters.

Would it be possible to hold a national ballot to refuse to handle DSA until a proper rate is paid?
This would surely be the best way to safeguard jobs, and protect the future of Royal Mail.
I think the Union would never have publicly supported such a move due to the legal implications.
Now that privatisation looks certain to happen you can guarantee the rules concerning regulation of dsa will change but the profits will go to the new owner not the taxpayer with us getting our fair share in wages and working conditions.My own opinion is we were buggered the moment we stopped our last strike.

Might have helped if Cameron had actually been there. Cameron won't be swayed by something like that even if he had been.
Oh good you approved of the march and temporary sit down on 15 December then
I neither approve or disapprove. Just think its a total waste of time. Unless you know different ofcourse?
Don't believe everything you're told in the rest room

My question for Dave Warde is "What do you actually do"?

In the interest of fairness and equality I think this question should be directed at Dave AND Billy! Since most of the posts are anti (current)leadership, the only reason Dave seems to be getting it in the neck is the geographical nature of his accent!
The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.

Even if it is two years later, it's nice to see this Union starting to grow some.
