Had a meeting at work today where our local rep of 25 years service said there is no way he can support this deal and resigned :sad:
He couldn't get his head round the fact he was expected to recommend a yes vote for a deal where we lose at least a tenner a week
and the rest... This will lead to most in our office quitting the union.

Widespread talk at my office of people quitting the union to pocket the £3.01p per week if this deal goes through.

Lets be honest. Why have a union that shows the tendency to roll over and die. Perhaps in the past the CWU were strong but in recent years its got worse.

I never would have thought id be on strike for a pay cut. Not in a million years.

I'll quit the union if the deal is rejected, no way I'm supporting more strike action, it would be a totally f***ing pointless waste of money for no gain.
