DISGRACE TO THOSE WHO DID NOT VOTE
It suppose to be the most important vote for years
And i can not believe that turnout ONLY 50%
117000 ballot papers sent and ONLY 64000 return
THANKS for all those who could not be bothered to send their papers back
THAT ONLY SHOWS WHAT SORT OF PEOPLE WE ARE WORKING WITH
STOP BLAMING RM FOR EVERYTHING IF YOU ARE TOO LAZY TO ACT WHEN YOUR JOB AND IN FACT WORK LIFE BALANCE IS ON THE LINE
ALL WHO DID NOT VOTE ARE SIMPLE DISGRACE TO POSTAL JOB

Re: DISGRACE TO THOSE WHO DID NOT VOTE
Just remember an important fact at work tomorrow.
Almost half of the people who could have voted, couldn't be @rsed.
So when someone whinges to me about the result tomorrow morning, it'll be at the back of my mind that there's an almost 50/50 chance that the person doing the moaning didn't even vote
I hate to say it, but I have more respect for someone who admits to voting Yes than I do for sombody who didn't bother to vote at all. How can they think they have any right to moan if they didn't even use their vote ?

I know two people that didn't vote, they had better not moan tomorrow.
I will not be biting my tongue if they do.

Re: DISGRACE TO THOSE WHO DID NOT VOTE
spot on but you have to wonder,the letter required a cross at a choice put back in an envelope and posted all free yet nearly 50% COULD BE BOTHERED.micksurrey wrote:Turnouts are always poor in any ballot, you had something like 40,000 couldn't be bothered to vote in the strike ballots, not too many complaining then about low turnouts. Its democracy, if people choose not to use their vote more fool them, can't understand it myself but there you go.

Re: DISGRACE TO THOSE WHO DID NOT VOTE
has anyone thought about the fact,that a lot of people didnt get thier ballot papers sent in the 1st place.
half our office didnt,and that is one office.seeing as only about half the workforce voted.it makes you wonder how many people didnt get a ballot paper to start with.
talk about a DEMOCRACY.

Re: DISGRACE TO THOSE WHO DID NOT VOTE
At least 2 people I know thought the voting paper was just more propaganda because of the DVD it contained.
They only opened it when they were later told it contained the ballet paper..
wonder how many people just threw there vote away?
