He will only tell you what you already know, what is he going to do, say yeah, we f****d up, but they had us by the balls?
Fact, Royal Mail are cleverer than The CWU.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Take your pick give or take a few words:
Best deal we could get in the circumstances
Better deal than in other comparable industries
Historic deal
Will force RM to increase contracts
Was voted in, can't go back saying it's not good enough

Union bingo.
You got a full house.
He gets it, but he really doesn't get it.
I liked when he mentioned IHP-had forgotten about that one, just another lost benefit supposedly giving us a higher basic pay. He spoke like it was a major achievement.
Add that onto our rubbish overtime rates that also got amalgamated into basic pay, and we should on about 25 quid an hour by now.

If anyone missed it just watch the first 10 minutes, the other 30 is just saying the same things again and again.

i must have kept nodding off
didn't hear is answer to why it was left to the branch secretary to vote on our behalf without consultation and quite a few didn't even both to vote, they should be sacked for that in my opinion too

Apparently, with a 'branch vote' there should have been office meetings to vote yes/no then with the aggregate being what it is, yes or no, that is the branch vote. Unless I'm mistaken.
But the CWU did say the members should have been consulted.

Just realised, on Facebook yesterday their headline while posting yesterday's LTB was...
YOUR UNION HAS SECURED THE BIGGEST SETTLEMENT OF HOLIDAY PAY EVER.

There were no office meeting at ours, no mention of anything at all.
Does that mean the branch yes vote can be challenged??

no, they vote on our behalf but should have briefed all the area covered at the proposal to get a rough idea of yay or nay
even our office rep knew nothing about the vote or deal on offer

I don't see how they can say a branch vote represents members who don't even know about.
Sorry, that can't possibly be right.

25 branches couldn't even be bothered to vote!
looks like a small percentage of the vote on their area's members behalf looking at the actual vote count and wouldn't have probably made a difference but the fact of the matter is they didn't even try
pretty low in my book and no wonder people are thinking about leaving the cwu
