Perhaps the question you should be asking 53000 CWU Members is

WHY CAN'T YOU BE BOTHERED TO VOTE ???? :crazy:

The result would be a tad easier to stomach if it was a big majority or a big turnout. But you should reserve your anger for the 53000 whose votes could have swung it to a huge NO

SP if you don't like it get out go work for tescos I think they are Recruting in an area near you :dance
Did I say I did'nt like my job? I'm not liking the 6hour delivery though, hope you enjoy it. I've put in for a job on the WSM so hopefully I won't be out in extreme heat/cold for 6 hours everyday :whistle
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

How exactly does that work with the full-time ratio going DOWN from 79/21 to 75/25? .........and 24,000 redundancies.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Yeah, this postman lark is easy! It's all fun and japes. 1 bag of mail, whistling as I skip down the street, basking in the glorious sunshine. It's f'king fantastic!
I HAVE worked other jobs, and this job isn't THAT great.
Oh and the "If you don't likt it, get out" Is utter s**t. Sounds like an american saying "Love it, or leave it"
Guess you'll put up with any old s**t, right?

Why would we have all lost our jobs because of a no vote? :crazy:
How exactly does that work?
There was a NO vote first time around for the Way Forward.
I don't remember losing my job then and at the time the company was losing money hand over fist. :hmmmm
Don't believe everthing people tell you. :cuppa
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Been in the jobs more years than most.
I don't moan about everything, only the problems, of which there are many.
A little graft? Hurray for presumptions!
I remember doing my round, then coming back, going out and doing half another duty, then come back and do IPS sorting and prep on frames.

You don't know what the f**k you're talking about.
