No Bottle

[Jack Mehoff]

In my opinion the postal side of the CWU haven't got any bottle. I'm not refering to it's members, I'm refering to the senior officials. I hope your members realise that once the government has shafted the CWU then they can stick it to whomever they want. There is a further proposal to get rid of another 30,000 BT etc members by the end of the year. (There have been 60,000 job losses in BT etc in the last 10 months already). What are you going to do when they start to come at the RM with the same intentions? What can the government do if you all go on strike together? (I'm refering to every member of the CWU which at the present time stands at 250,000). The answer is nothing except listen to what you have to say. Anyone will listen to reason if you give them reason to listen.

There is an old saying: I'd rather fight like a man than live like a coward.

As far as your seniors are concerned (which I don't think they are), maybe if you stopped paying your dues and stopped paying into your friendly society they might get off their a***s and do what they are paid to do, which is to protect you and your jobs. Maybe your area reps should be in senior positions as they seem to be the only ones who really care and know about what is going on.
Billy Hayes should be ashamed of himself for the way he is letting you down.

You posted this before and I moved it into the Union Room section as it does not fit the requirements for a "News Item".
