a plea to hayes and ward

Post by arsenalbob »

dear billy and dave
if you look on this site or have been informed by others that do, you will know what the general feeling is of the ranks regarding this naff agreement. please do not insult our intelligence any further by balloting us on this. instead, use tomorrows national briefing to get the rolling strikes up and running again. you were quoted at the weekend as saying there's no point in further strikes, we've reached as far as we can. this cannot be further from the truth, we the rank and file members are prepared to fight to the death, and what better bargaining tool than now, the build up to xmas pressure? so come on boys, i think you've severly underestimated our resolve for the fight. rip up that agreement and let's get on with it. you know it makes sense.

Fight to the death of what exactly? If it is Royal Mail, then we will have no jobs. If it is the Union then we will have no Union. You use the build up to Xmas pressure but far from that being a bargaining tool, it is the kiss of death to ANY public support we have left. A ban on all overtime is a much better solution during the pressure, that way the pressure is on the managers and not us. If we are balloted and the result is no, then so be it, start up talk of strikes. But we must have a ballot, or are you afraid the agreement will be passed?
BTW, I'm unsure of whether to vote yes or no.

there are a couple of hundred regular posters on this site, why the hell should the union take on board your personal views ??

you are in a minority in opposing this, the same as you were during the strike with your bullying and intimidation tactics across the country - did not work out for you in the end though did it.

how much money did you lose with your "vote yes for a strike but it will not be necessary to actually go on strike" line ?

The only answer to that is time will tell, if the majority vote yes then that is democracy, I fail to see how anyone bullied anyone to go on strike, the vote for to strike was yes which is also democracy in action, I seem to have lost you somewhere in regards bullying etc.

Thanks brynau, you just swung it to the No vote from me. I was unsure at first, but you've effectively sold it, like you did your soul to the RM devils:

Off you go Quisling. No one was bullied or intimidated by any CWU member. We leave that to the CMA Scum. It's their job.
The Industrial Workers of the World. The union whose members never scab!

one of Leighton's /Boggie's "love " children , from experience you'll plenty more of them as the idea is to soften up/knock the stuffing out of people for privatisation.

They call it Animal House Management in which you'll get clones and lot's more corruption with the worst of old school RM & the "brave new world " type.
What these people don't realise is they'll be discarded when they outlive their usefulness by the parasites they've been feeding , naturally they'll be squaking about RM not being what it's cracked up to be , and god forbid ! amoral at the very best .
That's what happens with Spivs , Charlatans & Brylcreemed gangsters at the very top.
