I think he has used the "finger in the air" method of guestimating the result.

Basically he has been told what branches are recommending a Yes or a NO and taking into account some will follow the branch recommendation and some wont he has plucked a number out of the aether. This time he chose 80%/20%.

80% though seems quite high to me that's even more that the result for National Strike action last year. I think the winning margin could be as low as 2% or 4% (48%/52%) but probably not higher than than 30% (65%/35%). My guess is about 60%/40% on a 55% turnout :sad:

I feel I should report some very underhand tactics are being considered by CWU HQ, in an effort to ensure a Yes vote.
Did you get the same letter I did, mucker, asking us to double-team at dvbuk's house in an effort to either
a) give him heart failure or
b) 'convert' him into a Yes voter ???
:wink:

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.
