London Posties Deliver a massive YES vote for strike action

[taxi4leighton]

just hope you dont have any "Forfar" offices in the south. not only do they ignore strike calls. the strike breakers do our work on OT.

Sadly it brings to mind.......

Oh early in the evenin' just after dark
The Blackleg miners creep out an' gan to work
Wi' their moleskin trousers an' dorty auld shirts
Go the dorty blackleg miners.

They take their picks an' down they go
Te dig out the coal that's lyin' below
An' there isn't a woman in this town row
Will look at a blackleg miner.

Oh Deleval is a terrible place
They rub wet clay in the blackleg's face
An' round the pit-heaps they run a foot-race
Wi' the dorty blackleg miners

Oh divvent gan near the Seghill mine
For across the way they stretch a line
For te catch the throat an' break the spine
Of the dorty blackleg miner.

Ye take yor duds an' tools as well
An' down ye go te the pit of hell
It's doon ye go an' fare the well
Thou dorty blackleg miner.

So join the union while ye may
Don't ye wait till yer dyin' day
Fer that may not be so far away
Ye dorty blackleg miners.

Whislt it would be not only time impossible to write on here all 156 indivudual office results I have aggregated each branchs result to give everyone an indication of how impressive the yes vote was and what a message it will send to Royal Mail.

London South West which includes 20 delivery offices , a mail centre and 2 hubs. voted 1279 yes and 117 no for strike action.

East London Postal which includes 18 delivery offices, a mail centre and 3 hubs voted 975 yes and 58 no for strike action

Mount Plesant which includes a delivery office , a mail centre and the airport mail unit voted 1160 yes and 164 no for strike action

West London postal which includes 13 delivery offices voted 385 yes and 92 no for stike action.

West End amal which includes W1 and WC delivery offices and 4 collection hubs voted 441 yes and 26 no for strike action

South East London Postal which has 28 different delivery offices and 4 hubs voted 831 yes and 78 no for strike action

North and North west London which includes 33 delivery offices and 6 hubs voted 1245 yes and 68 no for stike action.

We have also huge yes votes at PRDC and East Londo DC and East London VOC , Nine Elms VOC , PRDC VOC and Greenford sorry I forgot to pick their results up so will post them on Monday.

But with those branchs listed above the aggregated ballot result was 6318 voted yes and 603 voted no.

So the membership have spoken ! Royal Mail will be foolish not to listen as if not then we have a cunning plan and we will be putting that plan to London branchs on Monday morning !!

[k979aaa]

So to summarise 91.3% voted YES and 8.7% voted NO. A resounding victory for common sense and unity.

[brothermagrew]

And as a percentage (%) well in excess of the 84% that I hazarded a guess at for a YES vote.

RESPECT to the London brothers and sisters

[postmanx]

Well done guys ,great result ,

Thats the you guys doon south joining us in Jockland welcome aboard.

What about you guys in the middle ?

SOON I HOPE!!! COME ON YORKSHIRE!!!!

[johnnyp]

I still cant get my head round the 603 who have voted No
Are these the members who say i cant afford to strike,ive a mortage,ive kids etc etc
You wont be able to pay your mortage and feed your kids if management get there way
Grow some balls and stand up for your rights as the 6318 yes voters have

[brothermagrew]

Or it is plausible that the 603 NO voters are not members of the CWU.

[DeanDuke]

I would much rather a work to rule. That way there would be no loss in wages for members. And, it would cripple our delivery office.

[jockstrapp]

Or it is plausible that the 603 NO voters are not members of the CWU.

If they're not in the union then they should'nt have a vote

[johnnyp]

Or it is plausible that the 603 NO voters are not members of the CWU.

They would not have got a ballot paper brother

Just been sat thinking about my response and became enlightened realising oops quick, get to the delete button pronto before anyone realises, alas beaten to the draw.

[johnnyp]

Dingo can you answer a question mate
Just under 7,000 ballot papers have been returned,how many were sent out?
Im a little concerned that a fair old number of members have not voted

[k979aaa]

Well we did have a ballot of all mail centers in the N/W and some south MID-LAND office's But union H/Q held out an OLIVE BRANCH and the out come was let us engage royalmail!. End result FIVE MAIL CENTERS CLOSED and thousands of redundancies!.
