South Coast Office to Ballot.

[POSTMAN]

1st of many no doubt

[Tman]

So Portsmouth requested a ballot on May 28th AND June 24th then?
Why was that?

Think its got something to do with having their pension funds plundered, management completely ignoring an agreed set of national rules.lots of bullying and intimidation,and having their pay cut in real terms despite the fact that they helped to make record profits for the firm. :roll:What are they like, touchy buggers

Hold on a sec...Portsmouth have been lumped into one entity by HQ when there a 3 seperate bodies sharing the same building. It is widely regarded that deliveries would have voted yes had the 3 seperate ballots requested been honoured. Unfortunately HQ decided to ignore the warnings, hence the NO vote.

Bognor Regis and Newport IOW are out Friday 28th and Saturday 29th of August! Any sc*b Managers want to f*ck up their bank hoilday weekend in sunny Bognor Regis or on the IOW? If so go email the cluster DOM as i hear he is getting desperate? LOL.

Any chance of the ferry workers coming out in sympathy say around 9am Saturday - for 48 hours - strand the buggers

[Martin Walsh]

Friday and Saturday bank holiday weekend will be the biggest day of action so far. With London , Edinburgh and yourselves out and a number of others.

WTF is your area REP doing going against a democratic VOTE? Its not HIS or HER choice its YOURS! If what you say is correct? The branch needs to put the area REP on a charge because that area REP WOULD BE A SC*B! Working for RM and not the CWU membership. If you can PM me details I will start getting questions asked although promise nothing but nothing ventured nothing gained.

Apparently it was something to do with not wanting to hold up the National Ballot papers. London and others are out, so should we be.

[Stormproof]

We've had our local ballot, we were out on strike last Wedneday.

[pickaname]

Just heard that Newport and Bognor were lined up by the DOMS in their respective offices and told they wont be striking as CWU had f*cked up the paper work and the managers were well made up and smug about it! I then got a text saying that RM MANAGEMENT had f*cked up and had sent the strike notice to NEWPORT AND BANGOR IN WALES! I tell you you could not make it up! So the long and short of it is for the sake of CROZIER and co NEWPORT AND BOGNOR on the South coast will be striking this week and Pompey will have their ballot results on Wednesday and joining the party. I am sure NO dirty tricks were played by RM by this it was a real mistake!

Unreal. How many more cock ups do they have in the tank.

[piranha]

I wish we had out union meetings down the pub! Well done though hopefully we'll all be out soon

[TrueBlueTerrier]

Cracking flag

[pickaname]

Pompey got the notice in on time then?

Good...management down there have to be some of the most inept in the region. Just some of the crud they have to put up with:

Using a pegasus driven budget even though it hasnt been implemented.
Forcing in lapsing without agreement and withdrawing it 2 weeks later as people were claiming OT for it.
Delayed and then withdrawal of indoor reviews - twice!
Hiring new starters on Weds to Sat contracts (wtf?)

...the list goes on and on.
