THE CAMPAIGN CONTINUES - DAVE WARD.

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you very much for all your efforts so far.
We are holding regular conference calls with representatives across
every area of the UK and we are receiving very positive feedbacks.
This week your role in maximizing the 'yes' vote is crucial.
The best thing you can do is to keep on reminding your work colleagues
to vote yes. Make sure that our new stickers telling everybody that
they have already voted 'yes' are worn and are visible.
We can be certain Royal Mail will continue their negative campaigning
on a daily basis through to the end of the ballot period. CWU
supporters must also carry on and continue to keep talking to our
members in the workplace daily.
If any of your colleagues needs reassuring keep on publicising the
message on our postcard.
1. Royal Mail say they listen to you
A yes vote is the most powerful way of putting this to the test -it
leaves Royal Mail with nowhere to hide No responsible employer will be
able to ignore that yes vote and no responsible employer will be able
to turn down fresh talks. 2. Our promise to CWU members
When we deliver a yes vote there will be no knee-jerk reaction and no
call, at any stage, for an all out strike.
We will consult CWU members first on the most effective type of
action.
A strike will be the very last resort with minimum cost to CWU members
and maximum pressure to Royal Mail.
You can reinforce the message by making it clear that the CWU will
explore every possible avenue to avoid a dispute. We want an
agreement not a strike. Remind them that the CWU have offered Royal
Mail the opportunity for a period of calm with no industrial action -
in return we want Royal Mail to set aside their Business Plan and back
off from the cost cutting frenzy in every office.
Once we have achieved an overwhelming yes vote it will be impossible
for Royal Mail to publicly turn down our common sense and pragmatic
solution.
Other Key CWU Messages
* Royal Mail are deliberately trying to mislead CWU members. They
have not withdrawn the strings to the 2.5% pay offer. Their postcard
at the weekend, once again, fails to mention all the strings attached
to their offer. This has been a common theme throughout their
campaign.
* A 'No' vote will not make the problems go away. It simply means
every office will be isolated when facing Royal Mail's cost cutting
Business Plan. This means over 40,000 job losses, attacks on pensions
and the race to the bottom on pay and conditions.
* A 'Yes' vote is the only way to stop Royal Mail's attacks and bring
Royal Mail and CWU together to reach a National Agreement and build a
better future.
Once again, thank you for your continuing support, keep up the good
work.
