The CWU must not thwart the democratic process

Alan Duncan, Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, has demanded a categorical assurance from Billy Hayes, the General Secretary of the Communication Workers Union that they will not do anything that will in any way impede the process of an election.

Mr Duncan said:

"I asked them to give an unqualified assurance that no industrial action of any sort will be taken during the period of a general election.

"I seek their cast iron guarantee that all leaflets will be delivered and all postal votes handled without interruption of any sort. It would not be acceptable for the union to thwart the democratic process."

Brown might or might not go to the Queen next week. We're supposed to not strike for the next six weeks?

Oh! Look everyone! A Tory wants a 'cast iron' guarantee that we'll all happily deliver their election crap! I'd give the sponging scumbag a pair of cast iron Rockports and drop him in the nearest river. What did the Tories ever do for us?

if they give us back all the money they took off Royal Mail during the 17 year pension holiday at the bequest of the then conservative Goverment and the further £1.25 billion raided from our pensions by the current goverment that was due for our pensions ... then and only then should we not disrupt the election unless they also refuse to pay us to deliver said election material .... until then ..... they can GTF

And I seek the politico's cast iron guarantee that no election will take place during a period of industrial action - it would not be acceptable for the government to steal our futures

my response...

"Hi...
Being a postal worker ive just read your article asking for a 'cast iron guarantee' from the cwu that all leaflets and postal votes will be delivered if an election is called.
Well i can tell you that no one in my office give a damn about political election propaganda when we are being ignored by parliament. You can shove you election junk mail and postal votes where the sun dont shine until an agreement between the CWU and Royal Mail is reached.

We also have neither mine or miners and docks or dockers - perhaps we will be remembered with some affection when the mail is being delivered by an illegal immigrant with an armband and a dayglow waistcoat.

Someone wants to educate that pompus tory bastard in what democracy is. We are executing our democratic right to strike under the labour laws of our great nation. The tories can get fecked cos they'd privatise us quicker than Gordon 'Thatcher' Brown and his bunch of toads.
