[headscrewedon]

So are we going to be told what this deal is or what - believe it or not the membership ARE capable fo reading and writing

Sorry, couldn't help but laugh at that typo

Isn't the hotel in Niverton Road when I lived down there 25 years ago it was Bournemouths Red Light district.Not that I would know of course

It had better be,i've just spent my lump sum on two week bed and breakfast.

If you've wasted your cash on B&B , how are you going to pay for the hookers.
Don't expect me to foot the bill again.

Question for THE TRUTH ...

If reps from Romec, Counters, Parcelforce and Quadrant are also having to attend, is that because a deal on pensions is part of the agreement (and thus affects everybody in every one of the businesses) ?

Good God H you nearly put my eye out with those. Strangely enough that is very much the tone of the movies I go to watch - I usually dress similar to DGP1s avatar

For the record there are 90 pages. So happy Reading when you get it ! That does not include guidelines !

Which means we will get 2 pages, plus further page, telling us why we should vote yes to accept the deal

Still waiting for The Truth on whether pensions are in this deal. None of Romec, Counters, Parcelforce and Quadrant were in our dispute last year so why are reps from those businesses going to Bournemouth ????

Did the PEC really think nobody would spot the significance of those reps being summoned ?

[Stormproof]

Perhaps they are going to get rid of Romec staff and stick a broom up our arses so we can sweep the office up at the same time.

I think you are right, It may have more to do with redundancies than pensions.
Are you going by bus to Bournemouth?

Pensions is not covered off in the doc but talks with Government are still ongoing.

The attendees list is standard for a national briefing.

With RML plans for less MC's then Quadrant will be affected so their CWU reps need info as well, ROMEC will be affected with changes to the type and amount of RM buildings they will have to look after.

It is good that reps one from one part of RMG can gain a understanding of issues their counterparts have, especially when some of them may go on to become the PEC members of the future.
