Well you can't say you didn't have enough time to get in touch with HQ or the Branch.

If it's a yes vote it's a yes vote, no good crying over spilt milk. Hayes and Ward have obviously been vindicated by the MCs at least though it's the DOs who are going to feel the backlash - the flexibility and covering duties will hit DOs a lot harder than MCs because they work at capacity most days anyway.

If i remember the rules, you cannot have a replacement ballot paper if yours does not arrive...its tough luck.

JUST A MESSAGE TO THE MEMBERS WHO VOTED YES..

6 OVER 5 IN SUMMER

TAKE PART OF A DELIVERY FOR NOTHING.

WORK PAST YOUR TIME FOR NOTHING.

ITS ALL IN YOUR LOCAL REPS HANDS.

Our dom will be doing cartwheels over this vote. She's probably already gone down to homebase to buy a new spade...(her nickname is Rose West due to her looks and manner)

I work in a mail centre and i voted no!

But there were those who said it will only affect the delivery postman.

Other even harked back to the way forward and remembered what happened to the phg grade blaming the deliveries for voting that in.

Others commented on how some of the delivery units came in.

I tried to stick up for delivery units and postman and said that as a union we must be united and stick together.

But Rm have been very astute...they

put d2d on back burner..probally to bring in for nothing later.

put monthly pay out to working group...probally later...again!

Rm divided and won.. we didn't stick together and now postman will learn the hard way.

I cant see how they could possibly know yet the last day to vote was today, theres no way they've started counting anything yet because the time wasnt up to vote

it should not be about strong offices and my office as the full support of the local cwu rep... the cwu at top level should support all do offices.
by the way 100% backing from all at my office for industrial action no one crossed the picket line.
once again you must be from london :so there

why don't everyone chill out and do the job properly then you won't get any extra work imposed on you.our dom has admitted that if he tries this on with any of us he knows we will just laugh at him. there are bigger disappointments in life than losing this vote. we all now have the opportunity to make it work in our favour.
