A MESSAGE TO EVERY CWU MEMBER IN THE UK ON NATIONAL GATE MEETING DAY

[grchpo]

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.

The trouble is you had to tell the customer. Why is the union not letting it be known outside of the workforce, we shouldn't have to tell people what's going on, ffs union make an effort to be heard by public

[CRIBMAD]

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.

FFS there is NO agreement to be had have you not read thompsons proposal ? he is going to take the company down with him so we have to make sure he has no business left !

[Rommagic]

Someone said on Facebook some business has gone too other companies until our strikes end.

[Tom71]

What is the point in doing this? Genuine question.

Poo poo hits the fan.

[portadown]

I will not be standing there with my hand in the air like something u did in school does the cwu think getting rid off simon is going to change the way royalmail are going he goes someone else comes in and just carrys on look at Rico big pay off and his plan is still marching on

[rambo1]

we've been talking with them since February ffs. and we've just had 15 days of 'intense' talks. they obviously don't understand how we feel. time our union leaders took the f***ing gloves off and show these bastards we mean business.

Erm, how?

Apart from appearing on the BBC News etc what else can they really do?

[kookoo32]

A show of hands? That'll teach Simon. There's absolutely no point in that, we all know we have no confidence in Thompson but it doesn't matter what we think. We're not going to oust him by sticking our hand in the air. I'm no expert but I believe only the board can get rid of him.

[Wullie10]

What will happen after Christmas ? Where can we go ? Maybe we can put BOTH hands in the air ?

[ICEMAN81]

Oh yes let's put our hands up F#@K OFF

[LaggyBand]

How can we type in the comments whilst our hands are in the air I’m all confused

[Acca Dacca]

Im not a fan of this. Find it and the 'put in the comments' stuff pretty childish.

The CWU know most of us dont like him. Thompson knows most of us dont like him. The major shareholders already know we dont like him. This serves no purpose.

[clashcityrocker]

It will simply look as though a bunch of posties need the toilet.

[Sputters]

I hate to say it , but I think we have lost this . And the union know it .
Time to put up with it or find another job . Unfortunately things will soon never be the same again .

[dazer0070]

I can just imagine some of the pictures that WhatsApp number might get in the morning
