Re: Have to vote No
Because Dave Ward & chums want to keep their big wage. Same reason the time has been run down on the mandate by delaying the ballot.LouBarlow wrote: ↑25 Jun 2023, 19:37And why do you think no strike action was called?guardianangel wrote: ↑25 Jun 2023, 16:4397 % voted to carry on the strike how much more support do you think is needed.LouBarlow wrote: ↑25 Jun 2023, 15:00How much stronger a fight do we have to put up, than striking at Christmas?

Re: Have to vote No
But if everyone who is threatening to leave the union carries through with that threat, who is going to pay Dave's big wage?
Your argument doesn't make sense.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: Have to vote No
When it is a YES vote then the attack on our sick pay terms and conditions will get worse until we get NO sick pay for the first 3 days like other companies. This should NOT be a race to the bottom, we should be protecting these rights for our future colleagues. Every company seems to be trying to get rid of as much staff as possible and keep the rest on poorer conditions. What will a NO vote mean? I have no idea but I do know that a YES vote will be jus t the first step in more of our conditions being ripped away from us.
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.

Re: Have to vote No
Why do you keep asking the same question LOU. Nobody knows what a NO vote would bring . We don't have crystal balls . What we know is what a yes vote brings . We are trying to better the agreement somehow . Even if its just a little sweetener , but something. Your mentality cannot obviously comprehend opposite views to your own. What if ... ? Why would you ... ? If you vote no blah blah blah. " NO " voters are prepared to gamble for better , not accept vastly inferior terms & conditions . We all know change has and will continue to happen - we are not as stupid as you may like to believe. Some of us would rather try to write some of our future , than have it written for us. Now please stop asking the same old , same old , same old questions . It's so tiresome.LouBarlow wrote: ↑25 Jun 2023, 21:12You do have an idea what happens if a no vote result happens.
