Strikes before an election anyone?

Post by pop it in pete »

Is it me or would we be in a strong position if we rejected this deal. Letting the C.W.U. HQ renegotiate with the government oh sorry Royal Mail just prior to an election. After all who delivers the election material and who pays for a lot of the campaign? US!!

A BIG YES from me but will our leaders in H/Q conspire to defeat such ideas and common sense as idle talk amongst the Masses!.

You just know that the two fat bastards would scupper any chance of us striking before the next election. Only weapons left to us, are our vote on ths crap deal, and if we're stitched up ala 2007, we can always starve the CWU of our MONEY by withdrawing our subs.

Problem is we are shooting ourselves in the foot but however with the election we all have the chance of delivering only the leaflets which we find ourselves as acceptable to our beliefs as non of the major parties have neither our best interests or for that of the postal service of the united kingdom at heart we would be all traitors to the service we provide and the nation we so serve!. As such distributing the lies and deceit of all the major parties leads me to question the notion that the postal service is safe in any of their hand's as such i find it offencive that i may be the precursor of events yet to unfold!. It is my duty to inform you i find this material OBJECTIONABLE in the least and OFFENSIVE in the most!.

Problem is, the CWU is taking the piss, and if colleagues continue to fund the CWU, they will continue to take the piss. We need to provide a good incentive for the CWU to stop taking the piss out of it's members, and continuing to fund 'em isn't gonna cut the mustard.
