Percentage matters !

Its my firm belief that RM monitors this site to guage how much opposition it will face to its pending plans for RM

If they see that there is only light to medium opposition to their plans , they'll dig their heels in and go for broke.

HOWEVER, if there is STIFF opposition to an idea, they won't back away totally, but WILL be willing to negotiate a more acceptable deal.

Give them an inch........

When you vote in any poll about RM's plans.......TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT !

I also believe that there are RM plants on this site that post comments designed to sow the seeds of doubt

"Well , I dont like it but we just have to accept the changes........"

"I think its all the lazy posties who are making a hour a day......."

"I love RM and I'm sure I'll be a managers favorite if I suck up enough....."

You know the score.........

YOUR SO RIGHT!!!

I tells ya wot... I Took notice of the type of poster and the feel of the posts that came in just before the vote ,last... All very wavering and newbies from OTHER sites not going to mention em as i dont wanna give slime anytime of day... They came on and made sure that the RM side or spin that they push was heard.. In My Opinion..

LIKE " I CANT AFFORD TO STRIKE."

AND " WE AINT EVER GONNA WIN AGAINST RM."

THEN. "LOOK AT ALL THE BUSINESS WE LOSE."

Took it on themselves to make RM a Business and a cost effective one a that.. When ANY OTHER SERVICE.. Its STILL a service... never had to make cuts or yard marks.. POSTCOMM and the goverment run watchdogs in this case are dressed up as sheep... But infact are STILL run by the wolves...

Invent a excuse and pass the blame on to them.... Releaves the blame off of the LIEBOUR think tank at its best...

Its this mysterious POSTCOMM/WATCH thats the baddies ere People... NOT US LIEBOURTIES AND THE POWERS THAT BE....

NEVER US GUVNOR!!!

BOLLOX MORE LIKE.... GET OUT OF THE POLITICAL SLANDERING AND BACK TO GRASS ROOTS UNION STUFF...

BILLY N DAVE ARE TAKING THE ALLEN JOHNSON ROUTE...

FECK EM!!! :lfo :cfo AND THESE TWO...


OI w*****s.... LEAVE OUR PENSIONS ALONE!!!!!

Spot on Tommo mate, I will strike for however long it takes on this one, when i joined RM 25 years ago, it was compulsary to join the pension, it was called POSS, and after a few years it was closed to new entrants because it was a fully paid up pension and a new pension was opened called POPS after a few more years the two pensions were joined up again because POPS was in trouble, possibly due to RM not paying anything into it, and now these two :cfo :lfo overpaid arrogant bullys want to take it away from us because they couldnt be bothered to fight against the goverment to get the money they took off RM for 25 years, a total of £5.2 Billion, wouldnt that just fill our pension defecit, because they were too busy trying to please the goverment so as they could try and get them to privatise the business, which would have seen their personel pay packets sour by millions of pounds, and believe me thats no exaggeration, i will fight them all the way on this one...UNITY IS STRENGTH.
