A 13% turnout.
That is truly shocking.

[nutcracker]

Quite a mandate!

Unfortunately corporations (capital) are winning quite impressively versus labour.

Martin “sellout” Walsh

Hope the £100k+ helps him sleep at night. Sellout.

what a s**t return vote so that says it all , hes not going to change anything of what he was asking members to vote for in the shittest deal of the century .

[Geordiepapa]

Looks like majority of people did the same as me and binned the vote. Absolutely no faith now in the CWU.

So what happens to Dave Ward and the other bloke standing for dgsp, do they have jobs in the union to fall back on, we're a bit short of posties if they fancy a change, oh is that bald prick with the beard still being paid from our subs or has he done the decent thing and resigned ?

He just said he binned it….i did same,can’t possibly vote for 2 morons that helped stall the ballot for weeks,and go round offices selling us this crap deal.
Let’s just be honest here,Carl maden and Martin Walsh have been toeing company line like rest of them.
Do people understand what self preservation actually means?
They only care about themselves unfortunately

Sad times 🥲

This result demonstrates that the 'leadership' of the CWU represents a minority. Carl is engaged in serious discussions with employers whilst commanding the support of an even smaller minority than Martin. Neither candidate has the support of the rank and file no matter which way it is spun.
