What came before was "agreed to the company's offer to extend the validity of the industrial action ballot until the final permissible date, 3rd December 2013 - the last date that notice of strike action can be served".geordie04 wrote:lets hope the union are not stupid enough to agree to another extension
That's not to say it rules out a token stoppage, to extend the validity in law.

Re: the big day ?
Remember it an it a deal till we agree to it read the deal if there is one at this stage? I don't think we will get any kind of deal which I could recommend but if anyone has a copy I would like to see it but I do not think we will get one. I think the CWU will get took to the line and Royal Mail take it to the High Courts and will need a re ballot as such time has passed since the last ballot!Godric wrote:prepare to bend over and take it up the erse ..... because I have the feeling the executive are about to royally shaft us again and tart it up as the deal of the century yet again

Re: the big day ?
if they did call a strike chances are rm would get their injunction, because its been a while since the ballot was announced, and the membership count could have changed since then. i.e. members who have now left the job through being sacked/found other jobs/dropped out union, etc. i doubt they would have no difficulty at a court hearing. farcical once again.

Re: the big day ?
I agree and i also think redundancies are inevitable within whatever contract they get, especially for non drivers . To be honest if they offered me a decent package i would seriously think about itk979aaa wrote:The last deal PAY AND MODERNISATION 2010 totally screwed us all!mark02 wrote:Why do u think we will be f****d????k979aaa wrote:Quids in and f****d rather be broke than f****d!mark02 wrote:Our union rep said it was a done deal, so hopefully we'll be quids in for xmas with a 5 year contractdaveyeff wrote:if they did call a strike chances are rm would get their injunction, because its been a while since the ballot was announced, and the membership count could have changed since then. i.e. members who have now left the job through being sacked/found other jobs/dropped out union, etc. i doubt they would have no difficulty at a court hearing. farcical once again.
