Ea and IA under new Agreement

Post by mailmonkey »

Was told today by divisional union rep that it would be okay for RM to introduce the revision under EA. We are at Stage 3, and he came down to convince us to sign.

He said the hold on IA/EA was under the "interim agreement" ., and that the CWU would never give up the right to IA.

Can someone clarify this for me.

He threatened the whole office with the full horrors of EA, office swarming with gestapo style managers, forcing us all to walk till 8pm..... ;liar

This is our divisional rep, supposed to be representing our interests?

I'm out. Again. Thats it. Done with it.

Any offices had revisions introduced through EA?

Again, was told today by divisional rep that some offices had already had the full revisions imposed under EA.

Is this true?

This is the truth.

I am out the CWU. Had enough. I came out before, after the agreement, then went back in to support our local rep and dep rep who did so well in delaying and modifying this revision.

The revision is still a pile of shite though, and always will be.

The meeting yesterday with the div rep achieved exactl what the CWU/RM management team wanted, he managed to put the fear into most of the office, and achieved a yes vote to the revision. I don't know if what he was telling us was actual truth, or fearmongering or what.

His only aim was to get a yes vote to this revision.

His tactics were scummy B and H type RM management tactics.

At one point he told us if we didn't vote it in and RM brought in by EA, then himself and the area rep would "turn their backs on this office" leaving us to cope with the DeathCamp conditions he described under EA. One of our colleagues pulled him on this and he quickly backtracked, claiming this wasn't what he meant.

I'm still really angry.

At the end of the meeting he called our dep rep a "prick", then managed to deny all knowledge of this.

It was NO DIFFERENT to a bollocking from area management.

Makes me genuinely sick.

I can't imagine our rep or dep rep will want to continue in their roles, and, as I said, I've now seen enough of the CWU.
