Royal Mails fun with numbers

[Postie45]

"The Royal Mail said in a statement that it was "very disappointed" by the announcement.

It pointed out that 63% of union members had voted in the ballot, and that although 78% of those voting had backed the strike, that left a majority of the workforce that did not support the industrial action."

Whilst the statistics quoted may be true, to spin it as most the workforce dont want to strike is idiotic. But this comes from the same leadership which undersold the company by AT LEAST 25% and thats being generous to them.

Only 13% of the workforce voted against a strike.

No doubt the Tories will talk about the numbers but given the percentage in elections who vote they should keep quiet.
