Who is telling the truth regarding Bristol?

Post by MinisterofCucumber »

A few people have come on this site and stated that Bristol and District branch have decided to recommend a 'No' vote.

The CWU's TV propaganda says, "the response was overwhelmingly positive..."

If anyone who went to the Bristol roadshow objects to the way it has been portrayed on CWU TV, could they please make their feelings known to CWU's spin doctor:

The meeting CWU TV were quoting was a meeting in Bristol of all the units reps in the whole of the South Wales and South West Division. Bristol and District is just one Branch within that Division. I understand Plymouth and East Cornwall are holding their AGM today and Dave Ward is addressing them.

My unit rep went to the briefing. He is not a member of Bristol and District branch, but is in Gwent Amal.
He said that apart from one or two questions the vast majority of questions from delivery reps were negative toward the proposed agreement. He also said that a lot of mail centre reps seemed supportive of delivery staff. So I would believe the local reps not the spin doctors from HQ.

Please get him to watch the TV propaganda piece on the CWU's website and complain if he thinks it is misleading.

Baring in mind the link in this thread is new on the CWU site,has no one from their IT team checked that the PDF link for the agreement is still not working!!!

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.
