Don't see many doing that either as they'd lose all representation then. They might SAY they will, but in practice they won't. A few will leave but thats been going on for a while and probably why subs are going up. Either way, all the guff on here about Hayes and Ward falling on their swords is just that, guff. :cuppa

You reckon? Several people have already left at my office. Im out as soon as the official result is announced as are the majority of people in my aisle.
If its all guff on here then why are you so keen to read it all and spout crud all the time. You dont even work for RM anymore.

Firstly, the result isn't in yet. And second, I believe it'll be close, but we'll hopefully get a no vote. Still, we should know within the next few hours......

Who said they wanted it easy? :confused
I've worked in the Private Sector too. But I walked out over a dispute over H&S. Basically I was doing deliveries, and they failed to MOT the vehicle. So the day it expired, I insisted they hire a vehicle, they refused and insisted I took my usual one. So I walked there and then. Luckily, we have the CWU to fight these battles for us. So we get to keep our jobs. At least for the time being. :d'oh! :arrrghhh

Isn't the ballot being run by the Electoral Reform Society, the non-profit group that usually does this sort of thing?

Keeping a running score on the ballot would practically be an invitation to vote rigging, so for that reason alone, they probably wouldn't do it.

Dingo reckons that the results are in, and that it's a yes:
40,000 yes
20,000 no

But personally, I'll wait for the official notification, before I abandon hope! :cry :cry
