Why are the senior CWU so against RMC?

Post by rainbowwarrior72 »

I was at my branch AGM this sunday and we had a guest speaker from CWU HQ and the minute I mentioned I go on RMC it was only crazy people go on there. Dave Ward is very anti RMC too but over the years that I have been a member on here I have found it to be informative and interesting. Also it helps to know whats going on out there especially from certain corners
Now with the advent of the trade union bill you'd think CWU HQ would endorse it but they seem frightened of it. Especially with the possible RM 5year plan or as Mao called it The Great Leap forward but the people starved approach CWU need to start engaging the foot soldiers for the next bust up at this years pay deal.

Dave Ward said we was militant loons.
Dave Ward's campaign manager came on here looking for GS votes.

Go figure.

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.

because they can't control the message. :whistle :whistle :whistle

Also because some of the advice is quite frankly ludicrous and dangerous that's why its always better to use anything on here as a guide and don't take it as gospel. Do some research yourself and don't bet your house or job on anything you see on here without getting it confirmed - that includes ALL MY POSTS.

As Abe Lincoln said as a joke, but its very good advice

If you've ever been on any CWU endorsed social media site you'll understand, The North Korean administration accepts criticism more gracefully.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

The last four pay and working conditions agreements were at best utter shite but our union HQ god bless them say you voted for it but they negotiated it and they said it is the only deal left on the table. I would have walked away than present our members who stood so fast and headstrong than to give us an ultimatum which did not meet the needs and aspirations of the membership. It is time the CWU HQ listened to the people who pay their wages and not kowtow to the Royal Mail and Moya Greene or is it just me?

i once told a colleague something he would have found interesting to challenge our rep to argue the toss for him (i forget for what)
rep told colleague not to listen to the crap as its all "bollox" i say & read then fobbed him off (whilst inserting a spoon into our mana.....no, i'll not go there!)

fair enough i said, but it was a LTB posted on here from the official CWU website :left:
