Royal mail is Full of Selfish individuals who don't know the first thing about solidarity and principles, without even mentioning morals! :mad
Most of the Dick-Heads in my office just looked at the agreements and thought, "Yeah that's alright it won't effect me very much and look at all that money that's on offer " (Obviously the FULL amount because they're Full-Time.)
My Personal view is the only thing that stopped some of them voting things in was that they would be expected to do the Full Day's work! You know those 8 hours a day that they'd been getting paid to do for years, and actually knocking off 1-2 hours early ever day! :shock: No wonder RM was trying to claw back some savings. Some of these arseholes have been taking the piss for years. (Apologies if you're an arsehole that hasn't been taking the piss for years! :Very Happy )
I laugh my cock off when they come back into the office whinging about what a hard day they've had!Agree with you Indy Pay Back Time Arseholes! :Very Happy

it was the CWU who in principle first agreed to this ..and they should have seen how bad this agreement was ..that is what they are there for .

50000 postman didn't return there ballots.
but understandable when the top cwu were recommending a yes vote and the local reps were
urging no.
the union was split before the vote!
every day with the implementation of his agreement the union gets weaker, because its credability
with the membership is virtually gone.

such a fall
from a position of strength last year, a large strike ballot turnout
which gave legitimacy to the subsequent action and then a good turnout on the picket lines.
We brought the government to the table and then listened to all their demands. :d'oh!
I'm a postman-and i know where you live.....

maybe it should have been down to the local reps to vote on the agreement
