CWU Subs.

Post by Dushku2309 »

I knew they'd do this some time..and yet again we are never consulted and yet again the hike is not justified.

The subs have gone up to to : £3.01 a week..up from £2.92

O.k in the grand scheme of things this may not seem like a lot, but when you consider the recent strike fiasco and the up coming and impending strikes if ' the talks' break down again. What have we actually gained from the Union's backing? and what truly justifies them taking MORE money off us..is it to bolster a strike fund? Hell No!!

To think of those jack asses raking in more cash to sell us out makes my blood boil... Ma fetch my gun!!! :mad :mad :mad :mad

Must be the time Hayes & Ward get a pay rise unless another high ranker in the CWU needs money to buy a house

I bet that Gibson wouldn't be so keen on removing the cap on D2Ds, if he was the one told to deliver them.
I can't believe that idiots like Gibson cannot see the damage they're doing to the future of the CWU. If they continue in this vein, the CWU won't have a future, and how Crozier, Higson, Tolhurst, and that charlatan, Mandelson, will laugh, not only at our expense, but at theirs too.

Ok. The top guys of the union are not perfect, no one is but they are all we have at the moment. If you don't like them and what they do then at the next opportunity, vote them off, I take it you all participate in the union officials elections?????? Not being a member will open you up to all sort of nasty things from our caring management so please consider £3 a week is not that bad. Solidarity Brothers and Sisters :dance :dance :dance :dance

I'm beginning to wonder what the hell we are paying the subs for..........no communication from them apart from the odd letter and a mag that never comes out of the wrapper because its full of crap. IMO HQ treat us like mushrooms. Time to work for your money HQ otherwise I'm sure you will lose a lot of members.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

f**k. I didn't know about the free pens. Our rep didn't tell us. He didn't tell us about pay protection or substitution either.

Take a step back,deep breath,and imagine what your working life would be like without them,and also what you could spend your £3 on.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
