Practice what your union preaches

[zuvin]

This world is full of different people with different views, all this talk of strike breakers and strike breakers makes me sick some people who are posties are not in the cwu and choose to go to work your union wants its members to be treated fairly so practice what you preach i went to work last friday for one reason to earn money the so called union in our office could not be bothered to turn up and picket .

Oh ok thats fine then, as long as you dont feel you let anyone down. I think you missed the whole point of the action

I doubt it. We took on further cuts and absorbing (6 men to a round) since the start of summer BUT look forward to the big big picture. You need to look at Stage four of the new working practices which RM are now rolling out without agreement. For example how does working to 4pm grab you on a Saturday ?

late starts late finish still only forty hours

Zuvin your quite correct we live in a democracy where we all can make our individual decisions. I trust that you declined the £23 pay rise that union members took 9 days of industrial action to achieve in 2007. No? Well strike me down with a feather duster.

Don't blame your local/area reps for the current mess. It was the failure of the CWU leadership to react quickly enough once it was seen that RM were imposing their own modernisation agenda. The aforementioned agenda paid scant regard to the actual content of the 2007-2009 Agreement. We have London and Scotland (followed by others in turn) to thank for getting us this far. They should all hold their heads up high as they are a credit to comradeship and the leadership should recognise that by getting an agreement worthy of their sacrifice.

Having said that .. don't be surprised to find a 'sweetner' dangling in front of your nose as part of the resolution to this dispute. I reckon anything between £200-£400 will have people falling over themselves to get back to work (as happened with the Pay & Mod Agmnt) ... never mind whatever dreadful detail the final Agreement might contain!

I am so pleased for you. If that's what you have to do to be a winner guess I am content to be one of lifes losers. I sleep well every night despite not being a winner. Enjoy spending your money.

We all want to work but most of us can see the bigger picture! Without the union we would already all be on minimum wage and have the rights and benefits to match. If you really think you can rely on good old Adam to be fair to you then more fool you!

Go to work,get your money! Don't worry,we'll fight for your job and your rights! At the end of it all a simple "thank you" will suffice!

WOW you won a whole ten hours OT and at Sunday rate just to sell your job and your colleagues down the river.
Yes I can see now that your one of life real winners buddy, congratulations you must feel proud.

May I be so forward as to suggest that you spend some of your winnings on a Daily Mail subscription so you can read about your fellow militant striking socialist loser posties from the comfort of your armchair.

Bye bye winner

with people breaking the strike it will just make it harder for the strikers to get a better deal, but rest assured we will try our best for you.

[TrueBlueTerrier]

Well done to all posters on this thread - for once a thread about crossing a picket line/strike breaking and it did not descend into a flame war.

Zuvin - anyone you think breaks the rules in a post as you intimated in your post then please use the report feature . Thanks
