It would be madness to vote no, because there won't be an improved offer.
Accept the offer on the table and the £500 in our back pocket, and close ranks with the CWU
to fight another day.

The stark reality is that there is 700,000 immigrants lining up to take our jobs, if we vote no and crash the company again.

Common sense must prevail.

P&O ferries was able to fire and rehire around 700 staff on less wages because the company was based abroad. This is unlikely to happen in our company because it's not only illegal in this country but the govt. have also tightened up restrictions on companies doing this. Are you really suggesting that the company are going to sack thousands of postal workers and replace us all with thousands of these cheap immigrants overnight!

You've just lost all common sense
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

Who told you that ?
My office is full of immigrants, and all honest and hard working :cuppa
So your office ''full of immigrants''are all going to be replaced by ermmm immigrants? :funneh

Why does it matter who replaces us when the job becomes one not worth having? You are using those honest and hard working immigrants as a weapon as if it should scare people.

They seem to be good workers in your office ( i'll humour you that you arent making stuff up ) so why say '700,000 immigrants'?
The 700,000 immigrants are the ones that have come to the UK this year, that is the offical figure.
It's not scaremongering, it is a fact. Many have come from Ireland looking for a decent job.
Immigrants from Ireland!! That sounds a bit Irish to me.I do love your comments though,take the money,£500 best were going to get,take the deal etc etc.Solid 10 for effort.

Did you know Ireland is a better nation than the UK so why would they do that then?

It's good news Thompson is going, he is very divisive.

See what happens. I think the mood music will change at local branch level with today's announcement that Thompson is going, and I am sure the CWU Executive is aware of the dissent.

I think it will be close, but I am expecting a narrow Yes vote in favour at the end of the day.
Please tell me why you would consider voting yes. What is your benefit ?

I know that there's nothing on delivery, nothing at all.

So why are you entertaining a yes vote.?

Because I see little or nothing for anyone else.

No surprise. Let’s hope they don’t look to promote from within. My money is on Grant McPherson, apparently he’s the shithouse who is promoting this “our business to run” bullying mantra.
Whoever it is though there is no doubt they will continue to ruthlessly carry out the boards race to an EVRI style delivery company at pace.
It’s pretty standard for CEOs to be brought in and out of businesses , a bit like premier league football managers. Watch the CWU pat themselves on the back over this though as if it’s all their doing.
Heard he is a real nasty evil human being..

Wait, I thought the immigrants were all coming over here to never work a day and take all our benefits? Wish you lot would make your mind up :roll:
Immigrants who entered the country illegally are not allowed to work. .Many of them want to work but are stuck between people as yourself who are happy to put them on benefits forever and treat them as victims unable to work and others who say as there is no chance of them leaving because they are victim's then may as well let them work , especially as the vast majority of UK residents are bone idol .
