Workplace Ballot

[2chorizon]

Another Workplace onsite ballot eh?

Anyone remember how the last one went down?

Ended in a court injunction stopping xmas strikes because of people taking photographs of ballot papers and posting them on social media.

Why will it take to nov 17th to complete a workplace ballot? the idea of a workplace ballot is that it is faster than a postal ballot?

Good one.

[Acca Dacca]

Its the same as the last ballot in the summer no?

[sindba]

It's an internal CWU ballot.

Won't be subject to the strict laws governing industrial action.

More like an old fashioned show of hands

Chill.

Exactly, it's not a ballot that needs to satisfy the criteria for legal strike action. Jeez guys.

An old fashioned show of hands where everyone holds up 2 hands, 300 people vote yes in an office of 20 people.

A complete s**t show.

Do you think it might be possible for the Rep to walk around with a Nominal Roll and tick YES or NO?

[gb93]

I will have to really take a deep breath before voting to stop myself from voting yes to accept the deal after tonight's sh*t show.
Never in nearly 30 year have I been so disillusioned with the union

Which turkeys Will actua//y vote for xmas??

[sindba]

I agree tonight was a shitshow.

Not the strategy necessarily.

But their communication skills are abysmal. No-one actually knows what dates we're striking now. How hard is it to read out a bloody list?

Lots IMO,

You'll be surprised. (People thinking they 'll be able to play "gotta pick the kids up, to avoid later finishes etc as ST tossed them that carrot in the deal breifing.

121's with you manager next week for all, where these types will be re-affirmed special treatmemt if they vote yes.

[Martin Walsh]

It is not a legal ballot. It is the union consulting with our members on Royal Mail’s offer. We are recommending rejection.

Trouble is Martin we could get 100% of people rejecting the offer and RM will just dismiss it and say it's irrelevant and holds no water. They'll just say that people were voting under duress and there were also people not included due to A/L & S/L. Media will also use this when interviewing Dave Ward. I know we need to get this in ASAP to coincide with the company's half yearly results but I reckon it could bite us on the arse. Hope I'm wrong but I've got my doubts.
