here is the rank and file meeitng, unfortunately for those outside london it has been changed to saturday, but please can all those available and who are against the deal attend! United we can win.

Reject the deal
An open meeting to discuss a campaign to win a No vote in the CWU ballot

Saturday 27 October 2.30pm
Vernon Square campus of SOAS, Penton Rise, London WC1X, Just off King's Cross Road,
nearest tube, King's Cross

"We, the undersigned, call upon CWU postal branches, CWU representatives, and ordinary CWU members to sponsor, support and attend an Open Special Conference to organise the maximum No vote in the forthcoming ballot. We would like to remind you just why this deal should be rejected.

Flexible workingâ€”potentially every day

Pensions destroyed in the futureâ€”working until 65

Continued threats to mail centres

Uncertainty over continued payments for Door to Door

A pathetically below-inflation pay deal

Agreement to changes in start times which were initially imposed

Long days and short days agreedâ€”for example the possibility of a nine-hour Friday

Potential working in neighbouring offices and work outside normal duties

No amnesty for sacked reps

The conference will be held in London on Saturday 27 October and we urge the maximum attendance. Initial signatories to this appeal include:

Dave Warren PEC member
Angela Mulcahy Area processing rep East London postal
Paul Turnbul
Dave Chapple vice-chair Bristol & district amal
Pete Firmin vice-chair London West End amal
Geoff Breeze Southampton CWU member
Merlin Reader Local rep, Mount Pleasant
Presley Antoine Delivery unit rep WEDO
Paul Garraway political officer South Central No1
All names in a personal capacity

ps hopefully there will be another meeting on a better day that could allow more people from around the country to attend.

If anyone is going, maybe post up here on the list, i am going to try to make it though it will be difficult from Leeds.

A 2.30 kick-off in London makes it a bit difficult to get to. Don't forget to let us know how it goes if you manage to get there.

If things go well could maybe look at further regional meetings although time scales are important

It's many a year since I placed any trust in political parties. History shows us that upon taking power, these parties lose sight of the class they say they serve and merely replace one set of bosses with another.

To right my friend but do you know what's worrying is when you tell people like some of the twatts in my office how this deal is the stich up of all time and they reply " why what's in it" Leaves you speechless dose'nt it.
