WHAT WILL BALLOT RESULT BE?

[dvbuk55]

Maybe it's just the impression I get from my office but there seems to be a load of apathy- the ones I have spoken to have said they've voted NO but in general there seems to be no interest. I mentioned to a group about the result one day last week and all I get was a resounding set of non committal grunts, that made me a bit depressed.

I suppose they feel let down by the Grand Old Duke of Pork marching 98% of us up to the top of a hill, the buggering off back to Wimbledon after selling us out.

It will be a "Yes" by nearly 65% - 35%

TBH I think some of them wouldn't know who you were alluding too nor what the reference was.......................sigh!

Not long to wait now,close of ballot 09.00 tues,so when can we expect an announcement of the result??

That will depend on if they have to fiddle the figures

[luckyllama]

Stop kidding yourselves, youve all known for some time it will be a yes vote - there wont be any need to fiddle the figures

I think it will be close : 99% no but at least 1% abstentions.But then again Iam infected with the optomistic virus one symptom of which is an innate respect for the common sense of my fellow workers.
Should I be proved wrong in any materially significant respect I may consider climbing aboard with the other career politician posters and doing a number on the witless masses, NAH only kidding ,I'd rather get my eyeballs pierced with white hot ring nails

Good to see you have an "innate respect for the common sense of (your) fellow workers". Wots that as long as they agree with you. Dont make me laugh comrade!

Don't address me as comrade we have nothing in common ,and I have no desire whatsoever to introduce any levity into your working day.
Whilst I realise It may be hurtful for you to be excluded from a group who do exhibit mutual respect and common humanitarian principals the choice is ultimately yours. You know what you are,I know, indeed all who read your posts can't fail to be aware. Hope you can take pride in your efforts ,and sleep well

Nicely put comrade.

my guess is a turnout of 68% and a narrow YES vote of 54-46%... This will of course be trumpeted as ' an overwhelming endorsement of the union's stance against the Royal Mail who initially refused to negotiate on any aspect of their proposals'!!!!!! Then, of course, we know that certain posties were s**t scared to vote NO in case we were called out on IA during Christmas pressure.... The timing of the vote has played into Royal Mail's hands and on the minds of our members!!! Despite that, i still voted NO but think i may be 2nd in this current race...I DO HOPE I AM WRONG

Well, if you're right, we've lost a battle, but the war is far from over. Once the screws start strutting about like the German Army on a sightseeing tour of Paris, we'll see what happens. Just keep doing the job to their rules, and we can knacker them.

We don't have to wait for the yes vote for things to go tits up it's already happening with these later starts - but hey if we can make things worse I'm prepared to do my bit.

I reckon the idea of people being expected to cover sick or annual leave will see quite a few hares becoming tortoises.

you hit the nail right on the head..

once the reality kicks in that management will want more than thier pound of flesh out of you..

you watch everybody lose their goodwill then..

too little too late maybe..but there is no way they are going to get any extra work out of anybody with an ounce of sense...
