If thats true we have nearly 20,000 members who don`t care about what is happening or they believe all the sh1t they have been told by line managers and the rest of the suits.

Actually I was quite pleased with that figure I thought with the drip drip propaganda more would bite and vote no

I agree,but its a bit disappointing to see that so many believed RM propaganda

What surprises me. Is adding the yes, and no votes. You still have a lot of members who couldn't be bothered to vote.
I would have liked to have seen the yes vote in the 80's.That would really make management worry.

Are a number of these 40,000 none union members in which case they would not be eligible to vote anyway.

i think that what we have here is a bit of i cant be bothered i will let the others sort it out,40,000 people who cant be bothered seems odd but as someone said just look at election turn outs even with postal votes they are low,as for the 19000 they may have been voting against striking as much as for rm

DON'T PANIC - I GUESS A LOT OF NO VOTES ARE FROM TINY OFFICES AND THERE ARE THOSE CRAZY OFFICES YOU READ ABOUT IN THE COURIER - YOU'VE SEEM 'EM, WEIRD MEN AND WOMEN WITH FIXED GRINS SAYING THAT THEY HAVE INTRODUCED ALL THE 'NEW' COBBLERS AND THERE LIVES ARE SO, SO WONDERFUL NOW. DONGLERS!!!!

I'D PUT DOWN THE MISSING VOTES AS A RESULT OF THE CRIPPLING LOW MORALE THESE DAYS. IT HAPPENS AT MY OFFICE, THE SILENT ONES WHO COME IN DO THE JOB AND GO HOME AGAIN. GROUND DOWN BY YEARS OF BEING SHAT UPON. YOU CANNOT BLAME THEM. HEY, 66% IS FAR MORE THAN HAVE VOTED IN US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS FOR DONKEYS YEARS!

i think you are right mdtomuk there are a lot of people who just go to work get on with it and go home, and dont want to get involved anymore cos of all the trouble you can get into, and it is a case of letting others sort it out for you, i have witnessed several people who have said they havent voted cos they were so confused over it all, personally i went and read everything i could on both sides, and made my mind up that way, but again people think that your managers are your friends and whatever they tell the work force is the truth

i dont think so

i have experienced just these past few days people being openly aggressive about the union, and when asked how i had actually voted i told them to mind their own business, with that type of mind set you cant change their views no matter how hard you try and some of these people have been union members who intend to cross the picket line if it comes to a strike

but i am glad that its a yes vote

so come on dave get us a better deal

U should of sent them 2 me I would of put them rite or alternatively informed them they r treading the thin line that their actions could b misconstrued as harrassment, that would keep the tuewedafterthursdays quiet.
