Hardly a surprising result is it. What we need now is some solid leadership, who will use this result to obtain the best solution for the pension scheme members, not buckle under at the first bit of pressure and let us down, again. I'm not in the pension scheme so the only thing I'm fighting for is YOUR future, for gods sake don't make me look like a fool. Don't allow our leaders to weaken, 92% is a lot, lets hope they have the sense to us it.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Postal workers reject Royal Mail pension changes

Postal workers reject Royal Mail pension changes – time for genuine consultation says CWU

Postal workers have today (Tuesday) overwhelmingly rejected Royal Mail’s pension changes in a CWU consultative ballot of 140,000 members.



Dave Ward, deputy general secretary, said: “The result of this ballot clearly demonstrates that Royal Mail’s pension consultation was a sham.



“We’re now calling on Royal Mail to stop acting in undue haste and to discuss with the CWU how to solve the pension problem facing the company. After the last year of unrest Royal Mail needs to take the workforce along with them in this major change to postal workers’ terms and conditions.



“With such overwhelming opposition to their plans, if Royal Mail can’t find an acceptable solution with the CWU, industrial action will be inevitable.â€

"Strike threat after pensions vote

30 minutes ago

Royal Mail workers have overwhelmingly rejected changes to their pensions, raising the threat of national post strikes, it was announced today.

The Communication Workers Union said its members voted by 92% against the closure of the final salary scheme to new entrants as well as other changes.

Deputy general secretary Dave Ward warned that industrial action would be "inevitable" if the dispute was not resolved."



LOOKS LIKE A STRIKE THEN.....BECAUSE rm WONT BACK DOWN BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE CWU IS FULL OF WEAK, SHORT SIGHTED PEOPLE WHO ONLY SEE £££ SIGNS (ACCEPT DEEP CHANGES FOR £400 ONE OFF PAYMENTS )

AND IF rm HOLD OUT LONG ENOUGH ----WE'LL GET A crap AGREEMENT THAT SIGNS AWAY YET MORE OF OUT HARD FOUGHT FOR RIGHTS !

*** YEAR'S OF HARD FOUGHT FOR RIGHTS HAVE BEEN GIVEN AWAY IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS...... "STAGE 4" WILL GIVE UP EVEN MORE....( TEAMWORKING....GPS TRACKING .... SUMMER LAPSING.......THE LIST GOES ON.....

I've never crossed a picket line, but I now think that the CWU is CRAP ! and I think that they will SELL US OUT AGAIN !

Yes i agree it was just like the last ballot confusingly worded but i will take 92% any day and even if royalmail put all the vote's of the 6736 + 80 + 54570 who did not vote they would still be 18001 vote's shy of VICTORY now we must ensure we make our feelings known to the board of royalmail and accept nothing less than the restitution of OUR FINNAL SALARY PENSION NOW!

they are not moving the goal posts just the whole pitch..........
