THE VOTE---THE RIGHT CHOICE.
YES/NO.
It's down to the individual how they perceive this agreement, but what we urge everyone in the business to do is to take time and study it.
See how it effects you, see the consequences for the future.
Tell all work mates not just to listen to spin from both sides but to really think where their cross is going because it is going to change peoples lives, it already has changed mine considerably.
Some say this is the best we could get, but have they really took time to study it?
I am going to a section meeting next week and I know that the area boys will try and convince us;because they went on the national conference, to accept the deal for what it is.
I don't know the implications of a no vote, what will happen. I don't know what i expect to be a fair result out of this agreement.
But to me, looking at the whole picture, this cannot be a good agreement for us----my personal view.

Vigilante I know you are passionate against the agreement but surely you can find better sources on the Socialist workers party??!!vigilante wrote:YES/NO.

I bumped into one of them at the rally a couple of weeks ago and the lady said 'you must fight back against the low pay rises' - I asked what union she was from. She saif Royal college of nurses. I said haven't you just accepted 1.9% over 18months??
Enough said. We don't need hangers on. this is a postal dispute. Lets keep those idiots out of it!

9:5 split in the exec. union vote seems to indicate to me that this "final agreement" was not, in any way, clear cut. There are people telling us here that we could do better. It's down to the rank and file now to have the strength and conviction to speak up and say what they feel on the ballot paper. I would just hope that people REALLY understand the document that is to be voted on, it challenges me with it's twists and "see phase whatever" quotes, there needs to be CLARITY.strangler wrote:As has been said, you have to think about the consequences of a no vote should that be the result.
Do we have enough faith in the leadership to go back and broker a better deal after the glaring mistakes they`ve made thus far....
IT'S LIKE FALLING OFF A CLIFF...JUST SAY "NOoooooooo"

Re: THE VOTE---THE RIGHT CHOICE.
Yeah ok I know where you're coming from with this but for me, and many others I've spoken to during the past few months, this has never really been about the pay rise . . . . . ok we all want a bit more, but won't we always . . . . . it's the complete destruction of the job I love that bothers me . . . . . . the wanting me to be at the beck and call of Royal Mail at any time they choose and therefore destroying my social life too . . . . . I'll take the 2.5% today just don't expect me to accept the drastic changes so easily.lovejoy wrote:Vigilante I know you are passionate against the agreement but surely you can find better sources on the Socialist workers party??!!vigilante wrote:YES/NO.

I will be voting no to this shady deal,please tell me what is different to the original proposal except local agreements which in my opinion are worse,excluding pensions and D2D to be agreed and voted on at later date are we going to go on strike if pensions deal is crap same for D2D.It is beyond belief that ward and the PEC thought this was acceptable.

It's a hard call that's for sure. I've looked at the posts on this and the thing I find is that everyone can tell you they don't like it but don't seem to offer an alternative. Short of leaving things as they are and that ain't gonna happen, what are we going to do. As I see it and I won't be popular for saying it. The choice is the deal with CWU involvement in the changes at all levels or we are back out on the streets with management running riot in the offices imposing change by executive action. RM don't want a yes vote, they don't want the union in the workplace. Why do you think they left it until now to announce Crozier's pay deal? just before the ballot - coincidence? No way! they want to get our backs up
You vote the way you want but give it some serious thought first. Look at what the deal ACTUALLY says before deciding. All letter bombs gratefully received
