Why do people keep falling for things like this? Nothing has been announced and even when it is, it still has to be voted for...

If they are offering then somethng tells me it will be a close run thing with those with morals voting against and the money grabbing twats voting for!!

I would'nt class 175 holes a lump sum pal. I'd say it was a piss take. Anyways they can shove thier lumpsums up thier arris's, unless we get better working conditions. Seriously if people are that hard up to rely on lump sums then why not just go to the bank and borrow a few grand instead eh?? Do not sell your arse's to these spanners.

The only extra payments we are getting next week is the SA money they tried to scam us out of over the christmas period which will probably work out to 4 an half quid each.

You forgot to mention the CWU members who don't bother to vote at all :shock:
THAT'S how the 'money grabbing twats' manage to get cr@p deals voted in .... because too many members let other people decide their fate :arrrghhh

They could do it with all of us put a coupple of zeros on the end of it just like they did for poor :cfo and claim he earned it after all the govenment will pay for it because they caused all this because they took the money did not invest it in the service and sold us all out of our pensions £50 billion pension deficit anyone complaining the whole country is bankrupt so why not!.
