The cwu HAVE failed the workers the organisation of the strikes was terrible..What was the point ? nothing was achieved except losing public support and wages...

IM GLAD I WAS A SCAB and I bet there are quite a few on here if honest that wished they had been too...So you get off your little soap box and stop dictating
Nothing worse than a scab, even someone ranting against any who dare criticise the CWU leaders!

Not a single postie who went on strike is sorry, we're angry that the officials have "sold us down the swannee" - for the moment.

As a CWU rep said the other day, "For a scab self respect and dignity do have a price, it is worth two days pay". The truth hurts.

The 2007 agreement the way it was worded left it open for abuse by management , has dave said its still going too take alot of work to get royal mail to stick to the agreement , but the way they have worded the new one makes it more clear for people to understand and royal mail not to abuse it, i think get chrismas out of the way and dave and billy will put more preasure on rm. :cfo :mfo

spilie wrote:clashcity you are typical of todays attitude, if you criticise then you are either crazy or militant, well if thats the case you and the rest of the Wait and See brigade can eff off, i came out on strike because EA was imposed and bullying and harrassing from management was becoming the norm, Now what, has anything changed NO, so you and the 2007 mob have a lot to do We believed, We sacraficed and We are Waiting

Well said.
The original post "EFFING GROW UP" is abusive and has no place on this forun.
Some offices will make gains from this agreement.Most will not.
RMs B&H agenda will continue unabated,it is ingrained in this business and in the managers who carry it out.
No Executive action will be removed it will only be adapted because it is savings driven and unless reps can come up with alternative
ways of making these savings the EA will stay.
There will be no more national strikes,It is obvious the membership are split on this agreement and to test their willingness to
resume national action would be foolish in the extreme.
To break what the public and press consider to be a "No Strike Agreement" would be PR suicide.
I am not a merchant of doom simply a realist.
We have placed ourselves in the hands of our employers with minimum protection.

I am very nervous
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

So if the CWU calls its members out on strike will you stand on the picket line or will you cross it?
Will you go back to your unit tomorrow and explain to your colleagues the need to keep that strike 100% solid?
Or is the idea of committing PR suicide too much?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Assuming you are wrong, do you strike or not?

Afraid that that old adage united you stand divided you fall remains true to this day. I would make an impassioned plea to my CWU brothers and sisters to hold the line and remain firm and solid in their resolve for a better final agreement to materialise.

I disagree 100% and think it is a great thread starter.

I like the Village People but also think all this getting shagged up the proverbial HAS GONE TOO FAR!!!

Can we just accept that the union HAD to call off the IA becasue RM agreed to involving ACAS and an independant party in negotiations. CWU already offered a no-strike period before the strikes so to go back on that would look REALLY bad and be hypocritical. With this interim-agreement the IA remains ACTIVE. There is NO 'no-strike period' so we have a stronger position than that refused by RM before the action!!!!!!!!!!!!


WE NEED TO LET THEM TALK!!!
