You really think 65% of the "union" will bother? I may be wrong but that sounds very high compared to previous turnouts. There's so much apathy in the union it's a f***ing joke! One reason why I left, far too many tossers that want to be in and reap the protection, but don't really want to be 'in' or assist the greater good. Selfish w*****s!

What do you think the turnout and yes/no will be?
I'll start it off, 65% turnout - 78% Yes 22% No. :whistle
I don't think it will be as big as some think, I hope it's bigger than I think :chuckle
About what i was thinking, but i consider 75% plus a big result.

26 Oct is my guess
I think if we're going to kick off we should do it with a bit more impact so lets just piss off home on thursday 24th after work and come back say...tuesday or wednesday the following week.
That'll wake them up. :neutral:
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

I would come out for that. I would say that that would cause problems and they would do a lot of talking over weekend.

I'm with you! We definitely need more impact than last time and that's for sure.

As long as we get over 51% yes vote and our turnout is over 65% I will be happy I am sure it will be far more than that though as of action the sooner the better but rolling strikes did royalmail in last time!

Anything below 75% would be disappointing.

However above 85% would be fantastic.

Probably somewhere in the middle realistically.
STAND TOGETHER IN THE FIGHT.

Do we think members will support anything more than a one day strike? I have my doubts, the strike breakers would go through the roof as most would say ' I can't afford it'.
I will do what ever is needed, bring it on!!
