no time scale for ballot

Post by shizsco »

Got a memo from Glasgow Area branch today and it said " that there is no time scale for the ballot".
Surely they have a time scale so that we can get ballot done as quick as possible so they can move things forward or backwards if we hopefully get a NO vote

Lovejoy did mention the 23rd March 2010(no mistakes this time lovejoy :Very Happy )for ballot papers to be sent out (he did say this was not confirmed).

I put my own views on this in previous threads nothing has made me change my mind since.

Rep in my office said they know if ballot comes out now it would be a No vote.seemingly a bit of spin still to come from cwu before the vote.

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.

Dear Colleague

RE: National Agreement – Local Briefings / Ballot Timetable

The purpose of this LTB is to advise Branches that the ballot timetable will be finalised next week and notified to Branches accordingly.

The Union is currently undertaking detailed briefings with all local representatives across the United Kingdom. These local representative briefings are crucial to our commitment that when CWU members vote on the new National Agreement, they do so on the most informed basis possible.

The full schedule for these briefings, including those that have already been completed, are set out below:

Bristol Tuesday 16th March covering all unit reps in South West / South Wales region
Birmingham Wednesday 17th March covering all unit reps in the Midlands
Manchester Thursday 18th March covering all unit reps in the North West
Glasgow Friday 19th March covering all unit reps in Scotland
York Tuesday 23rd March covering all unit reps in North East region
London Wednesday 24th March covering all unit reps in the South East / Anglia and South Central divisions
London Monday 29th March covering all unit reps in London

These briefings will be supported by further direct communications to CWU members’ home addresses.

It really is important that every CWU Branch conveys to their local members that the union is currently undertaking these briefings and that the ballot will take place after they have concluded.

The Postal Executive will be meeting next week and will also consider the latest position on pensions.

Further information will be sent out in due course.

Yours sincerely

Dave Ward
Deputy General Secretary (P)

There will be no ballot papers until these reps briefings have been completed and reps have had a chance to "inform" members. :hmmmm
The last is in London on the 29th.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

the union know they do not have support for a yes vote hence they are running scared

Don't matter how much "spin" they put on it, it's got to be a NO vote
