How do I leave the CWU?
I'm finding it quite difficult to leave, can someone tell me how to please? It seems a bit rude to just ask HR to stop the deductions.
Thanks in advance

That is the easiest way to leave, it's not rude - it's your money. After the deductions have stopped, you can write a nice letter to the CWU explaining why you left.

Thanks, I was worried there would be repercussions to such an abrupt exit.beinspired wrote:That is the easiest way to leave, it's not rude - it's your money. After the deductions have stopped, you can write a nice letter to the CWU explaining why you left.

I know the union have let us down nationally, but with onset of the revision, it may not be the best time to go it alone.

Re: How do I leave the CWU?
I wouldn't leave the union.
I wouldn't blame anyone who did.
I think it's the wrong decision but i can fully understand why so many are making it.

if you have to go to a conduct or attendance interview you might appreciate the help of a quote fuckwit unquote. on your own you will be creamed.spankyII wrote:Thanks, I was worried there would be repercussions to such an abrupt exit.beinspired wrote:That is the easiest way to leave, it's not rude - it's your money.

to spanky2
at the end of the day the money we pay to the union each week is worth it,you just
have to look at royal-mail managers who attempt to sack staff every day.
it does seem our union is going through a nightmare period,but there are very good
unit reps and area reps who fight your cause everyday.
working at royal mail you will always need a union
dont be left on your own.

You don't have to go with a union rep, you can take anyone with you and if they know what they are doing you could well be better off than going with a bad rep!silly suffolk wrote:if you have to go to a conduct or attendance interview you might appreciate the help of a quote fuckwit unquote. on your own you will be creamed.spankyII wrote:Thanks, I was worried there would be repercussions to such an abrupt exit.beinspired wrote:That is the easiest way to leave, it's not rude - it's your money.

That being said, if your local rep is good then they are worth thier weight in gold....IF they are good!
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

Re: How do I leave the CWU?
Possibly true on the conduct aspect, but not true for a Stage 1 or Stage 2 attendance interview. Your rep can make whatever arguments they want, but managers just look at the fact that the attendance standards have been breached, and issue the Stage automatically.silly suffolk wrote: if you have to go to a conduct or attendance interview you might appreciate the help of a quote fuckwit unquote. on your own you will be creamed.
There is no longer any appeal allowed against the issue of stage 1's or 2's. And who negotiated-away the right of appeal against the first two stages of a process that can lead, ultimately, to dismissal ?
Yep, the CWU

Re: How do I leave the CWU?
ive known posties who went to attendance meetings up to 3 on their own and got the boot first time on stage 3. 3 quid a week not bad insurance to take an area or div rep in with you at stage 3. they do these meetings week in week out and pick up a bit of expertise, surely?wandle wrote:Possibly true on the conduct aspect, but not true for a Stage 1 or Stage 2 attendance interview.
