EFFING GROW UP

[jockstrapp]

I can see it was a good PR excercise by the union to call off the strikes before christmas so as not to lose too much public support,

Am I the only one that could'nt give a f#ck about public support, it's not them getting shafted

[opgpat]

A few of them would probablly like to be shafted and each to their own I say.

You have to remeber public opinion has a habit of quickly becomming press opinion and then government action. With a massive public backlash we would be stuffed like the miners. Don't forget that.

"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!!!!!!!!!!!!"

You are contradicted by your own posts.
What do you suggest we do if RM do not play ball.?
As i've already stated the public and press believe this is a "No Strike Agreement"
If the CWU called another national strike it would be an admittance that the original agreement was not strong enough.
No amount of spin would convince the public this was RMs fault.

I'm not being funny but I honestly can't see any contradiction there. Please explain if you want.

If RM don't play ball we go out again and we won't need any spin atall. The CWU and RM have agreed to the same agreement and that states in black and white that progress checks will be made and if insufficient progress is made ACAS will anounce as much. In such a situation there will be no problem going back out as RM will have backtracked on the agreement.

re: 'No-Strike deal' Often the detail is missed by the public/press but CWU will have a rock solid case for further IA if RM backtrack. A stronger position than 3weeks ago.

I understand fishtanks post( and his earlier post).The public thinks there will be no more strikes before xmas.I had the conversation 3 times with my customers on Saturday morning.We have to tell people that IA is still a possibility.We have to tell our colleagues that IA is still a possibility.And it will have to be rock solid.Nothing would please RM more than thinking the hard part is over.It ain't.

What an aggressive useless post clashcityrocker how dare you tell people to grow up,they are entitled to their opinions..you mention strike breakers and closet gays ?? you come across as a nasty piece of work, a bully too

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

Oh, dear.......Is POSTMANSHAT off the air? A site you'd enjoy, I'm sure. FLUFFY, named after a pussy, are you?

[La Poste]

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good stuff. This sounds a lot more positive.
The trouble with my place of work is I never seem to get any decent information like this.

[bitchface]

well i still think weve been shagged up the arse with a large shovel so that billy and dave can get elected nect time,and im definatly leaving the union,and never bothering to strike again....

oh look im such a happy CAMPER.im in all of umm.lol

I am however starting to have some sympathy with your post clashcityrocker posts like this serve no purpose.

Precisely

ok children ,it was sarcasum....clearly i over estimated the intelligence of some

[BELIAL]

The trick is chaps ,not to let management get a toe hold.
Obviously any major change in direction can cause confusion and disarray ,and equally obvious is the fact that management will attempt to exploit any public sign of division.
The game remains the same,and it is a simple one.
Stand together or get screwed.
Time for CWU comms. to hit overdrive and publicise just what a huge RM climbdown this position is

shame it still flew some way over your heads.
i'm not going to sit here and proof read or spell check my posts.clearly a waste of time when some(not pointing fingers)havent got the grey matter to undersatnd them anyway.what a fricking waste of time.as long as you understand what i mean,im sure you will agree,is the most important part.

i shall,however dumb it down for you guys...sorry

Sarcasm is a form of humor that uses sharp, cutting remarks or language intended to mock, wound, or subject to contempt or ridicule, generally saying the opposite of what the statement really is.
