With a Ganeral Election on the horizon

Post by mclovin »

A "NO" vote will put the ball firmly back in our court, we'll have RM by the nuts.

They wont want us out on strike with the Government breathing down their necks.

I'm starting to feel better about this crap "agreement".

We can do so much better the closer to May it gets.

A yes vote to unlimited D2D will see 2 fingers from me to doing general election leaflets as I wont have the time
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.

That tells the public its not about the money, its about the ever moving hoops we'll have to jump through to trigger any payment.

The main thing for me is not working until 3pm ANY day of the damn week.

You can say that with absolute certainty I hope because the proposed agreement can't. In fact the agreement is quite open about and blunt it on Page 29
It is recognised when rationalisation of the mail centre network takes place in a cost-effective way that there will be a resultant reduction in jobs.

I must admit I did think the election would be a good bargaining tool for us, but a thought has just occured to me....the election is fast approaching...yet we still have to get the official agreement to all members, then we have to vote, then if it's a no vote...we go back to negotiate...with roger Poole and ACAS :arrrghhh ...this could easilly drag on for another 3 months, by which time the election will be over. Anyone know when we will get an official hard copy sent to us?
