The members at my D.O are rather puzzled as to why they were bombarded with literature before and during the IA but now its silence.

They certainly dont like the idea of HCT and CDV/Park and Loop and certainly dont want Job and finish to end!!!

Obviously if you finish at 11.30 you don't want job and knock to end.
From what you have said about your DO already, your members are going to amongst the unhappiest people in RM.
The rest of us have had a lot of this s**t for a while now.
Still you might get to keep your bikes.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

They will wake up rather suddenly when this agreement and what comes with it finally hits them.
Of course by then it will be way too late for "whinging like fook".

Out of about 70 of us,

5 or 6 care passionately

6 or 7 ask now and again whats going on ( as if i know ) cos they know i check this board regular

so that leaves 50 odd who couldnt give a toss (yet)

what narrks me though is the majority have access to internet but cant peel themselves away from facebook

but i gotta ask myself this question.........

Is ingnorance bliss?

I'm starting to think it might be

To each his sufferings: all are men,
Condemned alike to groan,
The tender for another's pain;
The unfeeling for his own.
Yet ah! why should they know their fate?
Since sorrow never comes too late,
And happiness too swiftly flies.
Thought would destroy their paradise.
No more; where ignorance is bliss,
'Tis folly to be wise.

from Thomas Gray

Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College

Linkin

Political Officer and local rep two different roles. You seem to be muddling them up. A branch political officer has no say on IR issues or attend IR meetings.

You may wish to check the rule book for Political officer as it does not match up with what you describe.

It is Labour party liasion work along with keeping track of whats going on in the political arena that may be of interest to the CWU branch and its members.

In fact if you looked at the job description one could be forgiven for thinking the job title was Labour party liasion officer and not political officer.

If you think the role of political officer should be expanded, then Im sure that would make for a very interesting debate and you will get no argument from me that the role as laid out in the rule book should be expanded. The question is what exactly should be added to the rule book.

And now linkin I am goin to follow the rule book and invite you to join the Labour Party, as that is a offical part of the role.

linkin park,

Please join the Labour party and become a delegate on behalf of the CWU to your local labour party. You would be a a mighty fine asset!!!

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.
