94% say Yes to Royal Mail deal.
Wow what a resounding endorsement of the union's position. Some said it would be close? Even I didn't think it would be carried by this big a margin.
Non-voters have NO right to complain.
It's only an "x" and a trip to the post box or imp.
Yes 61,963 94.5%
No 3,595 5.5%
Legally Binding Pensions Agreement
Yes 62,508 95.5%
No 2,965 4.5%

Great leadership inspires people, 50% of people didn’t vote.

It's a pity there isn't a mandatory vote and those who don't vote are sanctioned - or do I mean sectioned?newtimes wrote:Great leadership inspires people, 50% of people didn’t vote.

Why? Or do you prefer unquestioning support to a healthy debate.Andy51 wrote:Well the doom and gloom merchants didn't put off the majority I suppose they will be leaving soon

Re: Some said it would be close? What an endorsement.
If a decision had to be carried by 51% of all voters then a lot more effort would be made by every one. I accept the Yes vote trashed the No vote, but even if it was the other way round I still would not accept it when there is not a 51% of voters for an outcome. Sure shoot me down, but take the Scottish referendum vote coming up, both yes and no camps want my vote. I have asked both sides for an answer to my question which is: a large % will not vote, add that to the losing side, then the minority wins. Still waiting for an answer. If we live in a society when the growing trend is for people not to vote, a minority can exploit that and promote that culture to gain power. So what I am saying, are people selling ideas to only the majority of the minority of people who actually vote.

Totally agree mate and all the yes voters will have no problem in the future when more mail centres are closed or outsourced after 5 years in the the name of profit.

I say you will pay for this when you start whingeing about your workload or being made redundant I will not pity you for your greed and avarice and conceitedness but expect no sympathy from me up yours!Andy51 wrote:Well the doom and gloom merchants didn't put off the majority I suppose they will be leaving soon

New times only 65 % voted in the General Election and 50% in the Scotish parliament elections. Sadly it's the way of life . Thatcher introduced postal ballots for unions cause it would always be a lower turn out then a workplace ballot.
Compared to other unions our returns are very good. Look at the Tessa and RMT ballots for example.

"Sadly it's the way of life" in the past workers did not accept that view and fought for change. I now enjoy a better life than those you fought for change in the past. I have duty to try and follow in their foot steps to give the future generation a better life. Not only are people not voting, many more are not registering to vote, great news for minority groups with funding to get their way.dingo wrote:New times only 65 % voted in the General Election and 50% in the Scotish parliament elections.
