Anyone know when we will get an official hard copy sent to us?
This is the reason the agreement has been dragged out for so long. Can you imagine what effect a postal strike just before an election would have.

Stinks to me!!!!

They wont want us out on strike with the Government breathing down their necks.

I'm starting to feel better about this crap "agreement".

We can do so much better the closer to May it gets.
Let's face it we'd hardly feel lonely - lets join up with the BA workers, civil servants, university lecturers, student occupiers and UNITE THE RESISTANCE! If we all went out together, there's no way the government could ignore it. But for the union leaders, that is what they fear most.
