I'll put my money on yours too COK - there's no chance we are going to see a replay of the guy who came in, oh 12 years ago ? and promptly buggered off when it fell through - I forget his name but he was thickset and looked like a rugby player.Cut Off King wrote:On balance, I'll put my money on my take on events.....I could be wrong...but I'm long in the tooth about how these people operate, I hope your right, but i doubt it.Lincox wrote:Second thoughts Moya. In this job I have at least three holidays a year, and many lovely weekends with my rich friends at Chequers. If I upset these posties and all those lovely Royal Mail customers they may turn against me in 2015, and I will lose out. I will be stuck in my multi millionaire style mansion in rural Oxfordshire and if wify dear wants three holidays a year I am going to have to put my hand inside them long pockets of that lovely suit and blue tie that I wear on a daily basis. I might even have to go out and get myself some directorships to make ends meet. Sorry Moya, this time I cannot support you any longer, but here,s your flight tickets back to Canada and I,ll get online and get my mate George to send you a nice juicy cheque for all your troubles.

Thank you for providing the service - at least I now know that I never want to hear her speak ever again. I know some people think the managers are drones, but listening to the CEO Drone on and on and in the same pitch was hypnotising and not in a good way.jack wrote:Just to get you reps in the mood who are attending....

Re: CWU Local Representatives National Forum – 12th Septembe
I believe that the hypnotising skill was what got us into BT2010 - nobody thought it was a good deal until Moya addressed the glitterati and the next thing you know is "the deal of the Century" is born and the union leaders are suddenly joint managers of the agreementTrueBlueTerrier wrote:Thank you for providing the service - at least I now know that I never want to hear her speak ever again.

I've been to one of these "sit around the table Q&A session " 10 mins per table, you as a group come up with a question for the CEO and they give you their answer, if the question is controversial they ignore it and give you some propaganda bollocks !

In fact it is financing it big time by paying the wages of 2000plus reps for a day away from their jobs. Do you not think Lounge Lizard that this is an unusual form of financing from a Chief executive that is imminently going to have a national industrial dispute on her handsTrueBlueTerrier wrote:Letter to Branches

You yourself admit that those of us out in remote SPDOs have no idea what's happening and my ignorance extends to who finances union meetings, hence my question.

It happened and it was about the Privatisation of Royal Mail and the minister in charge of the business at the time was Stephen Timms MP for Labour ,he did not answer the question and said " what a jolly good job Leighton & Crozier are doing".
No one on the table were impressed and that's why the round the table Q & A is still a load of bullsh*t !'!

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
