No strikes before privatisation?

[Lance Jack]

Last time we had national industrial action all the small offices in the area carried on as normal. It was only the big delivery offices and mail centres where we walked out.

what investor in their right mind would buy royal mail shares with strikes looming

the float is gonna be a massive disaster imo

I don't anybody from general public who are buying. Industrial action will throw a spanner in the works, there's no doubt about that. Hope your right.

BBC's Robert Peston has just announced that the goverment have enough investors. And we are now in private hands.

BBC news- Banks agree to buy more than 50% of the shares. Handed to the people who make no qualms about screwing people over. If there was ever a time that the CWU need a massive yes vote, this is it.

i would not worry to much in what happened last time.
it will be the way the vote will go that you should worry about.
it may be time for some new faces at the top of our union or do we still the same whitewash talks.

area reps were advising several smaller offices in the area to not go on strike and to turn up for work as normal instead

[daveyeff]

never heard that one before.

Even if this is true which is possible I suppose they should not be reps but I do remember previous strikes where the reps came in. I suppose they have a right to there views and not everyone agrees with there leaders. You only have to look at our political parties..

strike breakers THE LOT OF EM! Those that come in during a strike call and those that advise to come in, its a bout time the working man got off his knees and remembered what it was like to work in the time for our grandfathers who had to toil long hours for s**t money and in s**t conditions. Just cause you got a play station to fiddle with don't mean you can ignore what is happening with your working life. Strike and show the new owners who is in control US not THEM!

[viking1488]

Our office would prefer to work to rule /others said they are coming in, can't be bother after the last strike was a disaster think the horse has bolted

its a case for a lot of people that they cant afford to strike but we cant afford not to if this is the case with people saying work to rule which will never work in any D/O or coming in if there is a strike well we might as well give up but we will lose everything we all need to get behind the union for this last fight better going down fighting than letting them take us to the dogs

[viking1488]

Its not " WORKING TO RULE" its "DOING THE JOB PROPERLY" ....It aint rocket science...

and that's a f***ing joke tell me an office that does the job properly most come in early run around in the office then run around when there out this will never work in any shape or form there is only one way forward get behind the union say yes and strike
