the press and a no vote

Post by woofwoof »

so if we do get a no vote how are going to be seen in the press cos after all all they are saying is we are getting this great 7% pay deal ,shorter working week and better working conditions and even more bonuses

it wont go down well with the public when they read we turned this down

yeah its an impossible situation, the CWU bosses have agreed it the public sees us getting something out of it and wont accept any more strikes. I cant see anything other than a yes vote. If it does go NO we`ll get zero public support.

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.

It is not their terms and conditions that are being eroded.
We are not talking about going back on strike we are talking about rejecting a pay deal.
That is our democratic right and sod all to do with "the public".
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
