GIVE US OUR VOTE

[guardianangel]

Give us our vote now !!!! there is no reason to stall, the agreement is all written and you sold us out now let us have our say,the union is supposed to be democratic but it is acting like a communist party by not letting us have our say,just a point of law every member is in their right to sue for compensation if the union are found to have given you negligent representation and in my opinion they are doing exactly that by not letting us vote.

[koolishy67]

Yes let's us vote we want our pay rise and £500

[grchpo]

Have I got this right, every week without a 6% pay rise RM save £2 million. No wonder they don't want a deal

[plymouth3]

If this goes on we could end up with an imposed 2% like last year

[norris9]

How long ago now was it that Dave Ward and chums were promoting the deal.........but they don't want us to vote on it?

WTF are they doing!

[hans solo]

Is it legal to withhold an agreed ballot

[hans solo]

I personally think CWU stalling until our last IA ballot runs out to stop official action taking place

[Clappedoutpostie]

The delay is because they are trying to get a bigger lump sum out of RM. Would you rather vote now and take the £500 lump or wait for a bigger lump?

[Bellaber]

There's not going to be a bigger lump sum vote no all the way

Why do they want to back on the agreement they have consented? It shows bad faith or poor judgement; in fact, both!

They could have gone for the £1500 lump sum and negotiate for a 3% pay rise now and then 6 later... Either way, RM has probably gone as far they wanted - which is actually not much farther than the original 3.5% and then 1.5% over 2 years plus £500 for revision; which was imposed anyways. All the above could have secured with no loss of wages and payments from April 2022.

* And we could now have started negotiations for 2024 onwards...

The delay is stupid and the silence after the fanfare of the impending Joint Statement Zoom Calls involving all Reps and Managers; is just not taking members seriously...

And Simon is not even involved anymore - no bogeyman or fall guy to blame but the Union!

[hans solo]

I would rather vote now and shove their £500 right up their pipeline

[Linden14]

Lumps big enough with been hit round back of head with this crap deal by union

[jahbalon]

Forget the ballot and just give us the pay increase and huge lump sum.

......

The proposed 'agreement' is extended to include the 2% pay rise from Apr 2024 - Apr 2025.
It'll be Summer/Autumn 2025 before CWU and/or RM can get their acts together to put together anything for
FY 25/26.
