Post by thexxxpostman »

ive done over 20 years service now and i still stand by my views that the way forward vote was fixed by those who wanted it..cwu top brass ,royal mail and the government wanted it in and in it came..ive still not met any postie since who actually voted for that abomination of a deal..this deal is far worse but as last time the same faces at the top want it in...so who is counting or mis-laying the no votes this time ???

As I said before this is going to be a rigged vote I can tell you now this deal has been signed and sealed already before the voting papers have even left the depot. As per normal a brown paper envelope has been passed across the table watch this space for a yes vote, Deal done I`m afraid.Doesnt matter how much your branch tells you to vote NO the count has already been finilised and accepted believe me were doomed.Ive also been in the business for 20 yrs and dont think Ihave ever seen an honest vote yet.

the votes will be counted by an independent polling company -probably polaris.

They have posties as witnesses of count so contact your branch!!

I can't agree with your statement that this agreement is far worse than the Way Forward. This site has been busy debating this agreement. Can you imagine what it would have been like if royalmailchat was around during the WF era.

The way forward was shocking and on a completely different scale to this document we will now vote on

What was contained in the way forward agreement that was so bad?
I'm asking because this was before my time.
