It's always wrong if you've just killed a man,put a gun against his head,pulled the trigger,now he's dead etc,etc...
All that Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango? stuff is also very wrong.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

If this is true , i'm out, won't be striking now. Everyone knows deliveries is just so bad at the moment. Clearly our leaders aren't listening to the people on delivery that pay their wages.

The CWU need to be very careful

They will lose most of the support if they allow an extension - either make an agreement or not - the membership will not be sold down the river by allowing RM to postpone things till Xmas is over

The already extended deadline is tomorrow

They need to decide who they work for us or RM

To predict the future you should consult the past. The CWU have never really involved the membership in discussions. I really hope this is not true.

But hang in and await official confirmation.
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

If talks have been extended and royal mail drag this out, then the cwu will have lost a lot of faith in its members.
And will also lose a lot of its power in terms of getting anywhere near a good deal.

If the CWU do not announce a strike nor a deal by tomorrow I would think most of us would think we were being sold out!
