Ignorance is worrying:


- Notice served on the 20th September 2013
- Ballot opens on the 27th September 2013
- Ballot closes Wednesday 16th October 2013
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

That's for starters.

When your Rep calls a local meeting - turn up!

When your Rep has a gate meeting - stop & listen.

Unlike Royal Fail which seems to have a bottomless pit of money to send out waste paper our Union has to use the Reps to pass on the information we need.
So please turn up at meetings, listen to what is being passed out and then VOTE YES

A little off-topic but while I love Royal Mail Chat, it wouldn't take much for the CWU to shoot out LTBs in the form of e-mails. I know they already got my address.

Only problem is for some reason my laptop has started chucking them in the spam folder. :neutral:

Don't know much about Freedom of Information queries ... but it would be interesting to know exactly how much RM cash has been spent on these "propoganda" mail-outs over the last month or so ...

Just as a matter of interest what was the cause of the slippage from the 20th to the 27th?

Silent - well in comparison to the spiel RM are pumping out, it is a silent union - I wonder if the slippage is just to give RM time to punch out more crap and weaken the union position. I want to see the ballot paper and the timetable for action brought out - lets go!
