This whole thing has been a total f**k up!!! The union has a lot to answer for we are now worse off than when we started. We are getting shafted from all angles. Wonder how many back handers the union has accepted during this whole crock of s**t. Will be retracting my fees A.S.A.P

so shaolin what were your reasons for voting yes?

shaolin · Post by **shaolin** » 27 Nov 2007, 18:35

I think it about time we had to realize that we have a easy job.
Take a look around you won't find many other job that pays what we get for what we do.
It time to except that we have had it easy for a long time and that royal mail is finished
It's time to get out

So you voted yes to get the cash before you left?

I would have voted the same if I was staying
As soon as they took the pension out of the deal it was a YES for me
Work your time's and they cannot touch you
The pension is what we have to fight for, get this deal in then the fight starts for the pension that's what matters

THE PENSION IS NOT OUT OF THE DEAL WE'RE STILL BEING SCREWED ON THAT

shaolin I TO VOTED YES ALONG WITH THE MAJORITY but please dont say things like that,reading through alot of posts our colleagues are well pissed off at the moment and do not want to here statements like that as its rubbing salt in and well you know what i mean.

PS My Reason for voting Yes, My National Union recommended a yes vote,My Branch recommended a Yes vote,and after reading the deal 3 or 4 times i decided it was a Yes vote for me as well.Will it come back and haunt me,i shall tell you in 6 months time once the dust settles

For the first time on 25 years I never recieved a ballot paper for this one, but I would have voted No. Unfortunately, the YES voters won the day. The Executive will say that theyhave lsitened to the members for the members have vote yes. This is like the Way Forward deal, nealry everyone will say they voted against it but it got in.

Colleagues, we have to stand tall here. You imagine how pleased the screws on this site will be reading about our moans and groans about democracy at work. I feel like going after 25 years and if the opportunity arises I may have to amke that decision until then I gotta get on with it.

Once more into the valley..blsh blah blah. It will soon be crimbo

we are going to get SCREWED anyway, so we might as well accept the deal now and not lose anymore money from strikes.
We just got to get on with it now.

Johnny Pick 2 reasons you should not be a moderator. 1 you've revealed how you voted 2 you're part of the crowd selling us short. Sorry but true

Sorry if it sounded like I'm rubbing salt in it wasnt meant too
It's just I got fed up with all the No's slagging off people who voted YES
My National Union recommended a yes vote, My Branch recommended a No vote

It's thing like that made me pissed off with it all. I felt that if we had got a NO vote the CWU would have become toothless, and royal mail could have done what they like anyway
