But what would your move be in their shoes. Dig in and fight - unlikely with GB coming in soon. Walk away and leave us to it - I hope so. Sit down with the union and come up with an agreed strategy - The most likely I think.martin wrote:well done to all who voted yes. now lets see if alan & co will take note.

Ballot results
Cash Handling For: 545 Against: 283
Post Office Limited For: 2740 Against: 993
Royal Mail For: 66064 Against : 19119
Leighton and Crozier have clearly lost what ever confidence the workforce had in them.
Honourable men given such a massive vote of no confidence would resign.

What a result compared to the last disaster when we lost!!
Up the C.W.U.!!!
Thanks LEIGHTON & CROZIER for bringing the members back to the fold. Now the vast majority can see through your "let's work together" crap. Work together so we can cut our own throats, and increase YOUR bonus, that's what you mean!!
"remember, in the end nobody wins unless everybody wins"

They won't listen the main danger at the moment is that Royal Mail all of a sudden says nice things and wants to talk and the CWU heads settle for something crap, and within 2 months RM will be back to their old tricks, executive action, bullying etc - sure, we're always available to talk but we can do both at the same time.
The unoin should be approaching all the other public sector workers and we should strike together, all out till all claims are settled. That way we could link issues like pay to privatisation and competition. Unless we close the postal market and renationalise TNT"s ops etc then we'll return again and again to this situation.
Coppertop's got the right idea, get them picket line accesories ready and steeeeeeeeeeerike!

let the 3 groups strike on different days!!!
If we want to minimise our personal losses we should eg. Monday Posties, Tuesday Post Offices and Cash in Transit on Wednesday - or any other days we want but all go out on different days to maximise the feects and disruption but each person would only loose 1 days pay.
Also, have an overtime ban as most Delivery Office Collections are covered on overtime only problem with that is I think alot of non union members would just end up doing them.
Any thoughts anybody, can we strike in this way? Don't see why not as we all voted separatly! :Confused

yes vote
Glad to see its a yes vote myself madelin, but i cant understand why so many voted no, and the ones who didnt vote, after all they are trying to whip everyones backsides by putting bits on duties. I think Royal Mail, thought they were untouchable after the union lost the last strike but its funny how things turn around........

GREAT RESULT!!
Now the hardest part is to find an acceptable deal.
Donot forget Leighton and Crozier were appointed by the so called New Labour Party(Old Tory)
See you on the picket line
