Am I missing the point here.

The union have rejected the pay deal and The £300 was part of the pay deal.

Therefore as it stands there is no £300 anyway

It does sound... (and I'll pick my words carefully here)... somewhat odd. Could the CWU pay us each £300 to go on strike?

if your going to pick and choose what union members you are going to represent its as bad as picking and choosing what strikes to observe or to work in my opinion,

i think if your not going to fairly represent all members then you should resign as rep

and if you didnt i think that someone should stand against you and get you out and let someone who is going to fairly represent the workforce in your office take the job
:hmmmm

Brilliant so now I'm a strike breaker?

You'd have to carry me over a picket line in a wooden box.

f**k them. I couldn't care less anymore, if they cannot for once look at the bigger picture instead of making selfish decisions for them only, then I reiterate, I will not be representing them. Period.

I wish anyone who decides to go for the reps job the best of luck. It's a thankless task and no one can hack it in my office for long.

:hmmmm
Dude, chill out, I understand what you mean and your anger towards them.

zx135, wtf you on about? We ARE HUMAN YOU KNOW, you do realise that don't you? Of course he is going to feel like that at times, there are times I do, theres no need to say that s**t to him, that wont help.

Mandelson fair play for caring mate! Power to you.

I noticed that they have now changed the £300 lump sum bonus ruling. It now states that anyone who strikes won't get it and if you don't strike you'll get it.

That's going to cause some issues in offices!!!

Isn't it discrimination against strikers?

Naughty Moya :no no

I thought this was part of the pay deal that has already been rejected by the union so its not valid anyway, why o why do the keep sending us crap about what a wonderful pay deal it is when in my opinion its gone rejected forgotten about we should be trying to get a pay deal which we all want and voted for an above inflation no strings deal , instead the sneaky b,,,,ds keep trying to turn postman against postman when together we are strong and that's what management don'tlike

So the £300 does not actually exist in present time and space but is simply an image of a past £300 lump sum?
But surely every finite and contingent being has a cause and nothing finite and contingent can cause itself and if a causal chain cannot be of infinite length therefore, a First Cause (or something that is not an effect) must exist therefore the £300 must exist on some plane somewhere.
Or am I just making s**t up out of boredom? :cuppa

Is it on one of those drone planes I keep hearing about?

Just this week i was chatting with one of the boys in my office, he asked "will people here be going on strike?"
i said "yes, thankfully most of us were blessed with being long sighted rather than not being able to see past our own noses"
him - "so none of us will get the £300?"
me - "no"
him (after some quiet contemplation) - "well i i think i will strike then, i'm not going to work if i wont get any benefit from it"

So now after this letter that's another one I know will break the line, plus the two i've been told have never gone on strike.
Can think of several more who will make the wrong decision now.

to right how can she pay a bonus to them that break a strike when the full agreement was turned down by the cwu , surely they cant pick bits out of a legal agreement which benefit and suits them , corrupt bastards . come on cwu pick up on this and sort it out .
