Well from the sound of everyone on here, if ST gets his way and removes the CWU from the workplace you can all fend for yourselves. Good Luck with that.

Secondly, we want you to ask the meeting for a show of hands at the end of your speech. The question we want you to ask CWU members in your office is “Do you support a vote of no confidence in Royal Mail Group CEO, Simon Thompson?”.
We ask you to take a photo of the office voting (hands up) and send it via WhatsApp to 07701 397351 – We will then give the images from across the UK the widest possible coverage.
This is insulting at this point. Absolutely futile.
I thought that. Is this really the best they can do? Oh dear.

Everytime they put out a new video the sounds of desperation increase. RM haven't budged an inch publicly, whatever they say behind closed doors is just hearsay. The union say this and that and I have no reason not to believe them but then out in public RM say something totally different. Thirty four or so days left and we have lost.

Agree but what is a show of hands in the yard going to do at this stage to change anything ?

I support the union but we are even further apart than we first went on strike in the summer. Thompson has already ripped up agreements and imposed a pay rise. There needs to be some light at the end of the tunnel. If this goes on much longer we could all be out of work

This is the number one problem with CWU COMMS

It has degraded into nothing more than a click like social media fantasy island.

Bring back Kevin Slocombe who actually knows how to run a media and communications dept

I will stand by the union as long as it takes. But throwing a stunt like this by showing hands to show we have lost confidence in Simon is not going to do any good.

In fact Simon & Co will probably look at the pictures through social media and laugh at us. Not going to participate in getting a photo, not going to be made a fool.

I feel time is running out for both Simon & the Union. Told one customer last week about what's happening with the dispute and she said sounds like royal mail will be out of business because of some greedy men in a board room.

Or will be running a very profitable business once they crush the CWU and destroy our T&C's?

Should be trying to come to some sort of agreement, rather than posting pics to what's app.

Do the union think S T is going to care what cwu members think of him , he already knows from the result of the ballots.

This exercise is just pointless, won't achieve anything.
