union`s lack of pr

Post by charlie g »

Is it just me that think`s royal mail`s pr is working so much better than our`s.It`s about time the union got the message out to the public that this dispute is not just about money i seem to be for ever telling the public the real reason why we`re in dispute.Come on Hayes and Ward get our message out there and try and get the public on our side

Couldnt agree more,we need a professional PR unit hired to do the media bit.But we have the opportunity as workers,100 000 of us to engage the public and tell them what's what,we have tremendous group power if we all but realised it.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

If anything the CWU are doing well now with PR. They hadn't been, but have made amends since.

It's not for nothing so much breaking news and balanced reporting is apparent now.

I was shocked at how many people today were giving me words of support yet thought we got paid whilst on strike
