Martin and Dave

[Mr Rush]

Someone speculated in another thread that CWU HQ was on holiday. I recall a number of years ago there was a union press release reposted on here basically announcing no-one was going to be answering the phone or responding to e-mails for a few weeks. I wish I could find it but the keywords are all too common.

So CWU HQ shuts down for 6 weeks like the schools? Everyone? Or is no one allowed to comment while the bosses are away?

According to the union Facebook account, they are meeting RM tomorrow and will give an update on Friday.

The last I heard about the pilots from Martin, after he visited Ayr, was that they were going swimmingly well! if I remember correctly were they not?

No
They use the surplus staff every day
Think they have cleared on 2 occasions (tue) since they started
And d2d go out whenever

Chris Webb is shown on FB visiting one DO, so it seems unlikely the HQ has shut down.

They should have got him on a van share duty whilst he was there so he can report back what reality is actually like

He did and apparently confirmed that 12K steps was more or less correct..........

I see the CWU are doing their regular slot at 5pm but no mention of either the pay review or ODM being discussed

Yeah 17k for me today and there was very little mail

[funkflex55]

I've done 23k today so yeah if that 12k figure is per leg than that eejit is roughly correct.

Dave Ward draws a modest annual wage of about £170,000 I'm sure his well earned CBE warms the cockles of his heart too.
