I'm not a CWU member and I know 10x more about it than anyone else in my office (barring the Union Rep).brothermagrew wrote:Utter bollocks to suggest that as an office or unit we never really know what the strikes are about, don't you lot (CWU members) not receive personal communication letters from union HQ on just exactly what the dispute is all about. And it beggars belief that CWU members who are computer literate do not read the LTB's from the CWU website.
I have asked them and they do not have a clue why we are going on strike - quite a few said to me that it's because RM are going to stop D2D payments (this was started by the CWU Rep, i'm assuming to get people onside) and they want a pay rise.
I would bet my last £ that most posties don't read any letters from RM or the CWU, and they certainly don't even think about looking at the CWU website - when their last letter goes in they go home and forget about work.
