The Labour leadership election
Just curious. Does anyone know how the CWU vote in the upcoming Labour leadership election is going to be done? Is it still a block vote, one member one vote or something in between?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

The labour party has done us proud over the last 10 years.
It is the labour leadership/goverment that have let us down.
Blair has seriously muted the labour party so he can get away with what he wants and their are those in the party who wish to rise up and reclaim the party from blair and his right wing destroyers.
Democracy in the labour party and respect for the rank and file has gone under blair. thats why membership has HALVED under blair.
Dave Ward has stepped down as the CWU rep on the labour party NEC because of the way the NEC has lost its teeth under Blair.
And with local elections looking likley to be bad for Labour, Blairs reforms of the party have proven to be the very thing that will see Labour lose its perception amongst voters as the party for ordinary working people
Thanks Mr Blair you are the worst leader in the history of the labour party

What A Stink
A 12 yr old girl has been shot and killed by her brother with a replica handgun that had been converted to fire real ammunition. After 10 yrs of control freakery labour has not put a stop to gun crime and so we have another innocent child losing it's precious life. Labour has managed to spend a lot of time and effort in that act of revenge The Fox Hunting Ban. A useless piece of legislation that was all about the killing of vermin, something that cars do all the time, but Labour didn't ban cars did they? Labour are thankfully on the way out. Keep your politics off this site VOTE GREEN---------------------KWACK --------------------

May i point out that this paticular thread is called "The Labour leadership election" and if dont like the topic then dont post on it or read it.
The goverment being the sole shareholder of royal mail means that some form of "politics" is always going to be extremely relevant to our working lives in royal mail.
Punk you are quite right in your analysis and that is why TB manged to do 13 years as leader of the labour party.
L Tommo
Why can you not accept that those who were of pre 1994/1997 labour when you and your family were still willing to vote labour didnt all disappear when blair stated messing about and stayed on to fight to reclaim the party from within. Others have joined smaller socallist parties but not everyone was willing to give up on the labour party. I know it dosent fit in with the popular bash the labour party they have fu**** us to hell and back attitude that many people have but its the truth, the pre blair labour party still exsists as the current left wing of the party. I think those that stayed on to try and save the sinking ship should be congratulated.
Or do you think they should have just given up and given blair a 100% free ride? At what point do true labour and the unions declare the battle lost and walk away from new labour and surley you do not think that they should not have that batlle and just give up without a fight? We dont want the CWU not to bother fighting royal mail just baceause its a lost cause.
I do belive however that the time to decide if affilation to the labour party is really value for money is upon us due to the labour party leadership elecions. My reason for this is simple if those that form the govermnet/shadow cabinet arer never going to see things our way no matter how hard we try to make them then other use of the money to the labour party will be more benficial

The green party is all over the place they dont know if they are left or right, how ever socalists are being elected into posistions in the green party quite a lot recently and a battle between left and right within the green party may soon emerge. However Billy Hayes is rather fond of them.
As for keepin politics off this site isnt that up to POSTMAN? But then how do we discuss goverment policy towards royal mail presuming it is something worth discussing?

I'm not into this politics shite,they're just a bunch of freeloaders imo.
But from what i can see Labour,Blair,Brown and who f***ing ever have done nothing for us(RM employees) and most others around the country.
Hayes said at our agm and i read it else where as well that the union gives money to the Labour party because Labour put in their last manifesto that the business would not be privatized.
A bribe or blackmail look at it anyway you wish,they both do the job.
As for politics on the site,Big Daz i think makes a good point at the end of his last post,it has to come into the mix,especially with the shite we're going through and who our share holder is.
