Simple Question Deal or no Deal
Just about to go out and meet friends for a few and to bring in the new year. But I will leave you with this !!
The agreement does not have executive action , it has full involvement and it has a sign off to get the money why did some offices agree a revision which they thought would fail ?
You can blame the union for loads but why did no one go through the disagreement procedure ? No revison can be introduced by Executive action as it has to be discussed at national level in the event of no resolution at stage 3.
So the conclusion has to be that you are not using the agreement to prevent Royal Mail introudcing unacceptable things .
Imagnine if we did not have an agreement some of you would have got seriously rolled over.
The Union does not begin or end at 150 The Broadway it is about every unit standing up in unity getting the right deal. Some areas do this very well and some dont.
Some decide to go into the blame game blame everyone for their offices lack of bottle to stop things. Other ensure that offices do not get picked off and isolated and thats why some areas get better agreements. It really is stand up and fight or get rolled over.
Enjoy your new year !!

Re: Simple Question Deal or no Deal
....and some union officials would like to pass the buck onto the membership for a poor deal.
If the CWU is involved from top to bottom in these revisions with area reps monitoring and overseeing units and divisional reps overseeing Area Reps and workshops etc....as was promised.....
Why are none of these full-time release officials putting the brakes on these revisions especially pre-Christmas.
Our Area Rep...bless him stood up at our pre-vote meeting and told the members...how can i best put this....?
Well...put it this way.....none of it turned out to be true.

Re: Simple Question Deal or no Deal
Dingo it was the union who sold this deal to the members, if the revisions are going in as agreed by the revsion process then our leaders are as much to blame as anyone for failure, Also your remarks about going to disagreement who is pulling the wool over whose eyes our office was told by the area rep that we could not go to disagreement and that had come from the div rep and that revisions had to come in at all costs, my thinking is there is a lack of understanding on this agreement from both the cwu & rm from the top to the bottom, it needs sorting and fast.

What happens if a D.O does not want delivery methods or any other revison for that matter and continues to reject delivery methods revision on that basis. Would not the CWU have to jointly take EA with RML? Its happened before on changes that have been endorsed via national ballot such as SDD revisions.

Re: Simple Question Deal or no Deal
Give it a go and see what happens on the basis of PIR putting right anything going wrong and on the basis that a delivery methods revision is not optional and some level of change HAS to happen.
The D.O in my cluster that has been given a planner and delivery methods revision has voted against the revision to a man Im told. No yes votes at all.

Re: Simple Question Deal or no Deal
There lies your answer Dingo. The union should be about unity but it cannot when some offices have reps and others dont.dingo wrote: The Union does not begin or end at 150 The Broadway it is about every unit standing up in unity getting the right deal. Some areas do this very well and some dont.

Some offices stand up whilst others without reps get shafted.
As soon as you allow decisions to become local rather than national then some will be f****d and some will gain.
That is NOT UNITY and that is why the CWU will fall
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.
The time has come for union.

Oh by the way Dingo, you want to try putting some resources into training up the grass root reps instead of blaming them. As a delivery office rep for three years, I've managed to get training on the Attendance Procedure
