do NOT accept some crappy deal on MY behalf ! I would rather see the board sacked and administration take place than give into them !

me too

[Poppyellie69]

No backdated pay, no deal

[Jinder]

just remember we are the union, i aint accepting some crappy deal, we get treated poorly the conditions are terrible in the job, the bills are through the roof but the wages are not going up, if the union come on try offer us a crappy deal, its a straight no, hopefully people wont be fooled by the scare stories, were they not saying they have a 1.7 billion war chest?? seems pretty healthy to me

So youd sooner accept the dole queue and £70 a week to pay your through the roof bills that a (sub optimal) deal?

Yes I would

First thing that should be done is Thompson stepping down. Paying those shareholders those millions instead of putting to better use was a gross error. Also his reputation among employees is down the toilet. The board need to tell him to resign do things to progress.

That’s the whole point of a private company to pay shareholders the profits.

Me too if any deal isn't half decent they can foxtrot Oscar! Everything they've put us through and bulldozing through just ain't worth the stress anymore nevermind working us into a grave!

To all those saying they will vote against a crappy deal, where is it written in stone that the CWU have to let us vote on it? I know they are supposed to but given the current financial circumstances of the company(allegedly) it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that they wave through a crap deal on our behalf without a vote. I definitely wouldn’t put it past the CWU hierarchy that’s for sure.

The union would be finished if that happened, I know I'd leave for sure.

Has his original post been deleted as I can't find it.

He has deleted it but redlen quotes it a couple of posts further on.

Probably said too much and told from the top man upstairs to keep a lid on it

Judging currently how the talks have gone, getting rid of Tweedle Dipshit isn't going to do jackshit. Not even in the talks or the majority of them before them. They ALL need to go. This company is f****d with the current board in charge.

[Spartacus]

profit or loss we're still working for the boss, let's not let the CWU leadership temper our expectations and feed us a s**t sandwich, enough weasel words from Ward and co, action now.
