Well done mate.

At least you can stick two fingers up to the management as you walk out the door!

Got mine and I'm voting YES, the more that vote yes, the better is our negotiating position, the propaganda we're sent is designed to weaken that.

I've seen it before. The last time the workforce voted no to a strike, Royal Mail went the full monty with their unagreed changes until they pushed too far and everybody went out on strike.

Let's not rewrite history. Billy Hayes was never a yes man.

I am happy to support the CWU vision for the future, not the RM one. So it had to be a big fat YES from me

Can't see anything other than an overwhelming YES victory. Judging by what I read on here and what it's like in our office none of us are happy with the way things are.

Voted yes. But according to RMTV everything the CWU is saying is lies. They do not want later starts, they do want to give us pay rise. Our new pension will be wonderful despite older opgs losing thousands and thousands.
Wish I had my ballot back ..... Just so I can vote YES again.

Actually read one of those cards today. Mentions that current trials will be implemented nationwide without going into any detail. So people voting no could be signing up for anything really. Do we even know what they're currently trialling.

It's in Royal Mail's interest to undermine the CWU position, what RM wants will not necessarily be to our benefit as the business comes first and they will naturally do whatever they can to weaken our resolve hence all these propaganda cards and mailshots, with the threats to take any "improved" offer off the table, a usual scare tactic, in all honesty I can't see it being any worse and the only way is up.

Hence my voting YES.

Big fat juicy YES from me too

Interesting results: 95.3% YES from a 98.6% turnout. I can't imagine it being that good but wonder how accurate it will be on 3rd October.
