I am confused why did you expect a reply to your last post.

This site has nothing to do with the CWU (apart from most people are members), we cannot do anything about the CWU not replying to you.

As far as im concerned the CWU needs to score some kind of moral boosting victory of Royal Mail as its all one way traffic and it aint good.This has to be the worst year ever in the unions history with the shambolic flexibility agreement and i for one am extremely disenchanted with the union.If this carries on it wont be new members the union is worried about, it,ll be the amount of ex members it has!

All I can say is if any of you are in the s**t with your jobs or being victimised by your managers as I have been & am again then please don't slag off the union, because I can tell you first hand when you are really in trouble they are excellent, my branch is 2nd to none, the problem is most posties have not seen the other side to RM as I have,if any of you had been through what I have been through you would have nothing but praise for the CWU.Who would you rather trust I know who side I am on.Anyone not in the union god help you. :whistle
