How do I leave the CWU?

Post by spankyII »

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.

Why would I snivel back to a bunch of entirely incompetent fuckwits?

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.

I wouldn't leave the union. :neutral:
I wouldn't blame anyone who did. :neutral:
I think it's the wrong decision but i can fully understand why so many are making it. :sad:
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

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.

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!

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

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.

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 :sad: :crazy:

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?
