Yes Vote From Me

[bexhil palace]

Can you believe this, this morning one of our members actually asked a manager which way they should vote,WTF is the matter with people.
I'm not advocating yes or no, but for gawd sake have your own mind.

Hmm, thinking out the box here but maybe they thought it was best to ask a line manager and then vote the opposite of what they suggest. Bound to be the right way!

i work in a voc, the mood with the 100 hgv driver's i work with is not to strike, the rep has been going through the duties ready for a resign. Can someone tell me why we should go out on strike for london, it seems london want to reverse everything that has happened in the last year, 4 day weeks on delivery? and working 1 day on s/a, when most of the country is on a 5 day week.

if a strike is called so near to xmas you could find that most office's will attend for work, do you really want to break the cwu.

surely not the same driverjoe?

yes sherlock it is the same driverjoe, but since that posting last year i have had to transfer to a m/c due to medical reasons, when working in a voc you tend to be out of touch with whats going on in the rest of royal mail, but now my eyes are starting to open , as well as collecting mail from this DO i also take mail there, mainly ms 2 and ms 3, but what really surprise's me is that the postie's come in during the time i am there (17:00 -18:20) to see what i have brought in so they can do some preping on their delivery. madness or what.
there are 20 people who work in this DO.

I am there for 1hr 20mins as i have to seg the mail from the driver's coming in from the other sub offices.

i have also seen a postie take a packet to deliver at 17:30 as he just popped in to do some prepping and then went and delivered the packet what i brought in as it was on his round.

belle, thank you for your post, i do hope that this is a only small amount of DO's doing this.

WE decide if we want to strike, not the CWU.

Decide, yes, authorise no

Unless you planning on going wildcat?

So if the workforce want to strike we have to ask the CWU if it's ok? I think we are talking technicalities here BD.

[andy2007]

No. You must have a valid Ballot, or the Strike is illegal (Wildcat).

[Tman]

The point is if there was an over-whelming demand for a strike, it's for the CWU hierarchy to organise it ASAP.
It's NOT for the hierarchy to say no to a strike if the rank and file call for one.

{Although a dozen hot-head keyboard warriors on RMC doesn't constitute "overwhelming demand".. }

Well it wouldn't be the first time in my RM career and it does wonders for getting the union down to your place believe me and then threaten to leave and they are like flies round a cow pat. People tend to forget THEY are OUR employees.

Will there be unrest in DOs if this goes through ................................ well I wouldn't bet against it, the idea that all problems will be solved locally with ACAS assistance without interruption to service looks good on paper but then again reality has a habit of biting you in the ar5e.

I think that's what our Rep meant! If so all I'll say will be "thanks for the support guys"

[belle smith]

Joe theres a load of guys in my office who are no longer in the union, or where never in the union but would never work through a strike official or unofficial!!
The one guy in our office who did work throught the official action was recently hauled away by IB. don't think we'll be seeing him again.
