Talk about being between a rock and a hard place.......

Post by Dave made me a slave »

Firstly well done CWU (hierarchy)/Royal Mail. You have got your yes vote. :Applause

Enough said on that subject.

My sole dilemma now is whether I leave the CWU or not.

I personally think I will need them now more than ever because of the very deal THEY negotiated.

How ironic.

Yes we the CWU hierarchy have negotiated a rather pathetic deal for you, our paying members and yes you'll need your local rep more than ever when it's voted in.

I have had to pay for the privilege of a pay cut, more work and a later Saturday. I now feel I have to pay to have insurance just in case something in the agreement could be used against me. Absolutely laughable.

I absolutely despise the CWU for the way they have treated their members. Yet they are all I have when management are on power crusades.

So I either leave the CWU to show my disgust at the way they have treated me and take a chance I won't need them if management try and screw me over.

Or I can continue to reward the CWU for getting me a pay cut, a bigger workload and a longer Saturday and take a chance if I need them when management try and screw me over that they just might fight for me.

Like I say a rock and one very ****ing hard place.

Frankly the CWU couldnt give a flying f*** whether you leave them.

This is because part of the agreement sees Royal Mail "SUBSIDISE" the CWU.

In effect the CWU becomes an arm of RM. They pay the union a big fat cheque to get what they want.
