I am unsure if a plan 'B' has been drafted,the union guys i have spoke to seemed to have it in their heads and minds,that the deal will come in no matter what,the mail centers will close and d2d's into workload ect ect,if its a no vote,i guess it'll be drafted in by executive action and rm will save on the money we were due for excepting said deal,i cant quiet get my head around why the closing date for the ballot has been extended,i think the votes are counted as they are received at the returning officiers address,it certainly would'nt be extended because the vote aint going the way the union wants it to go.As to the result,i've always said it'll be close,i just hope the members use their vote instead of just binning as i see so often with any union mail received by many members.

It has been extended to ensure those stuck abroad on holiday are able to complete their ballot paper. Nothing to do with the 'vote not going their way'. :cuppa

Not according to HQ. :cuppa
The decision to extend the timetable has been taken because it was brought to our attention that a number of ballot papers were delayed in the system

I heard rumour is that the response is so low, an extended date might get more votes in. I expect (certainly in deliveries) that people
feel they are getting shafted no matter which way they vote, so aint bothered to vote at all.

Were you ever in the forces BD? A plan works fine until the first shot is fired and then you have to wing it. What if? There are a million combinations of what ifs, who can say what any individual unit is going to do if the vote is no. The least we can expect is for the union to take up the challenge to FIND a Plan B or C or D at the very least one that IS acceptable to the membership.

TBH I wonder what individual units are going to do if the vote is a YES.
