looking at a lot of posts i came to the conclusion, like a lot of other people, that the union was in grave danger of losing tons upon tons of members due to their lack of fight against royal Jail management......
a colleague of mine approached the union rep in our office, to be told, dont take any heed of that royal mail chat website...
he asked why not???
response "they are just dissidents and most of them arent even union members, they need to wise up and get on with change"

All they have to do is look at the 'anyone got their ballot papers?' thread to see how many of us are in the union.gone wrote:looking at a lot of posts i came to the conclusion, like a lot of other people, that the union was in grave danger of losing tons upon tons of members due to their lack of fight against royal Jail management......

Re: royal mail chat is just dissidents who are anti union
A dissident, broadly defined, is a person who actively challenges an established doctrine, policy, or institution.
I will always question anything I think needs questioning but I will also defend both RM and CWU when I agree with them. If that's being a dissident its a label I'll proudly accept.
As a little known philosopher (though I think he was more widely known as a theoretical physicist,
“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.”

Re: royal mail chat is just dissidents who are anti union
The term dissident was used in the Soviet Union during the period of 1965–1985. It was attached to citizens who criticized the practices or the authority of the Communist party. The people who used to write and distribute non-censored, non-conformist samizdat literature were criticized in the official newspapers. Soon, many of those who were dissatisfied with the Soviet Bloc began to self-identify as dissidents. This radically changed the meaning of the term: instead of being used in reference to an individual who opposes society, it came to refer to an individual whose non-conformism was perceived to be to the good of a society.TrueBlueTerrier wrote:A dissident, broadly defined, is a person who actively challenges an established doctrine, policy, or institution.![]()

Re: royal mail chat is just dissidents who are anti union
I suppose it makes a change from being trade union zealots, opposed to everything Royal Mail.
Or it could be that we use this site to air our views about what is wrong with our jobs, whether it is caused by RM, the CWU or our colleagues.
(Mind you, I am now a dissident, anti-cwu RMC member...unless of course the membership refuse to endorse the latest attack on or terms and conditions.)

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.
