Has nobody thought of the Consequences of a "no" vote?

Got a question for a CWU Rep? And all CWU related matters.

The scary part is this is all true! Vote No.

And I suppose lateness is probably one of the main issues in a Mail Centre...

Is it funny or ironic - somewhere in between but neither to be honest...
rather be late than start an hour before my time btw I`m never late :Very Happy

Just get delivery to vote no, it's quite simple if your assessment is so compelling then surely you and other will swing the vast majority of delivery behind a no vote!
Problem is you know it's going to be a yes vote and you'll have to stop going in early, leave your car at home and not leave early. That's generalisation at its best but you know it goes on and yet you bitch about processing. :so there
Look to your own function and sort it out before browbeating processing.
Oh I'm not sniping, I clearly see a difference in the two aspects of the work and the two aspects on the outlook of looking at the agreement. You should not be voting to alter the aspect of deliveries when the vote for your ilk will have no impact on your working terms and conditions. So take your 30 pieces of silver and vote yes - when they've finished with us they'll be coming for you and without national support, for there IS a no strike clause, you'll be out on a very lonely limb. Remember Unity is Strength :left:

That statement would be fine but it ignores the fact they have been and gone when it comes to mail centres.
They shut half of them as part of a deal deliveries had no place to vote on........
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

no suprise pal, you work in a mail center & have a very easy job compared to delivery for the same pay (which will eventually change in time) so i would expect you to do just that! I am advising people in delivery to vote no as this deal doesnt sort out the massive issues within delivery, you cannot understand that i can see which is also no suprise, so have a good evening & "if in delivery people, vote no" :thumbup :cool

To be fair most of the delivery staff on here were against BT2010, the agreement that negotiated the closure of half our mailcentres so I'm not sure who you're having a moan at and to be honest all this vote yes/no bollocks is a bit childish anyway.

The ballot closes on wednesday, the vast majority of those that will vote have already voted and even if they hadn't typing bollocks vote yes/no is not going to result in a sudden slapping of the forehead and a change of position.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
