And you work in what discipline? - oh right so you won't have delivery experience, strange how all you wallahs manage to be so well versed in something you've never actually experienced. Don't pay any attention to tman who wouldn't know a delivery if it bit him in the nads,

Such a simple job done in the hours you get paid.
No such thing as b & h if you do your job correctly.

why are you in the union?
when I was in the union when they told me to vote yes I voted yes and when they told me to vote no for something I voted no what is the point in paying your contributions to the union if you have no trust in there leadership!
I support the Union, but unquestioning support is not in my nature. Unquestioned support of any leader or organisation is a mere step on the road to acceptance of totalitarian regimes.

by doing that you paint a big red target on your back & they can make life very stressful & wait for you to slip up & sack you no 2nd chances. Enjoy your new agreement.

Not much point in having a ballot then really.
Sadly I think the majority followed your example and just did what the union told them to.
Even more sadly they'll be the same guys moaning their faces off shortly when they realise exactly what a "can do culture" actually means.

The vast majority voted for BT2010...and spent the next 4 years whining about it. I don't think much will change with this agreement.
come out of the union then or just get on with it
Not a Tankie are you grads :chuckle :chuckle :chuckle :chuckle :nervous

I don't think many of you know the level of change that's coming.
You should try reading the agreement and not just the juicy pay bits either.
This is a good bit...
We will jointly explore new resourcing models including: seasonal variations and revised duty structures and attendance patterns, to see if we can better align resource to workload and at the same time identifying benefits for both the business and employees. This will include new method improvements, indoor and outdoor equipment, and processes to sort and prepare mail for delivery. We will also use PDA technology to better understand our delivery performance
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Quite so, but that wasn't a necessary criterion for being asked whether or not I wanted to accept the deal, so I, like thousands of others who wouldn't know a delivery if it bit him etc etc, got to vote too. Good though, isn't it? :thumbup

Its flawed, but then Democracy has always been a balancing act, we have to take the rough with the smooth. This is going to a rough one.

Only for some Teebs, only for some - of course we can live in hope that the judas group are replaced by mindless morons - actually I think that happened with BT2010. :sad:
