Result prediction thread

Is there anyone left that actually gives two monkeys what the result is? The times they are a changing regardless.

No matter which way the vote goes Dave and Andy must step down to allow new stronger and younger blood with more balls to fight within the union

That's the funniest comment of the night.
You've obviously never been to conference.

We care a lot 60`% no 54% yes

Cwu incapable of holding a legal ballot, so rm will take them to court given the 97.1% who voted no.

I think YES will prevail. It’ll be close though…
But if it’s a NO it gives the CWU a chance, perhaps, to win back a bit of faith from its members. If it’s a NO the union must be stronger than they have been.

I still think Vingegaard will keep the yellow jersey.

I am hoping that too.
Although Pogacar looks strong, i am not fussed on him, bit like some people i know he has a attitude problem.
On the vote i could see a Yes win and a low turn out, but no matter how it goes the result won't be good for us.
I just fancy a NO to piss RM and the union off and see how brave they really are. Not as brave as me i fancy.

70% for NO.

If the result is a NO vote and the turnout is low, I can see RM challenging the result in court

Is there a certain threshold that has to be met? I know there is for a strike ballot but I take it there isn't one for this type of vote.

This is a vote on a pay deal not a bloody strike ballot

Do you honestly believe that RM would never challenged the vote outcome in court if it wa a NO vote and the turnout was low?

It wouldn't be challenged as it's quite clear that royal mail don't want or need this or any other agreement.

The strength of the union with regards to negotiations comes directly from the membership and what they are willing to sacrifice in order to win concessions, that willingness to sacrifice has been eroded almost to the point of non-existence

I'm not sure under the circumstances how we could be anything other than in a weaker position than when we started so effectively we would be trying to negotiate a better deal from a worse position... or basically begging I suppose.

If someone could explain how that isn't the case I'm willing to listen.

If this has just one vote in favour it will carry the question on the ballot paper regardless of the turnout.
As to RM they could not give a flying f**k as they have just done today with the customer service points and what next is in the line?
Sorry for venting off on here but this is the start of the end of Royal Mail!
