heston wrote:nice tactic from glasgow managers,force an unofficial strike,starve em back to work just in time for the xmas rush,interesting to note that we are in the middle of a national ballot,if as many have indicated ,the whole country goes unofficial,where is the legal advice on a ballot,that cant happen if the ballot returns cant be delivered due to all out action,chaos management decisions are understandably the reasons why glasgow and district amal members ,through bullying and intimidation,rightly feel they have to stand up against these bullys,i for one support and applaud the members for there stance.we all must concentrate and focus on the most important issue, SENIOR MANAGERS OF ROYAL MAIL ARE FRIGHTENED,INDEED PETRAFIED OF A YES VOTE FOR NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL ACTION,AND WILL TRY ANYTHING TO AVOID THIS OUTCOME,all to often we allow them to dictate events,A CWU INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS BALLOT IS FOR US TO DECIDE ON AND IS IN FACT A REFERENDUM ON RM MANAGEMENT,A MASSIVE YES VOTE WILL FATALLY DAMAGE NOT ONLY THEM BUT ALSO BROWN/MANDELSON,the result will be announced publicly ,it will make front page news,voting yes by a huge margin will send a message loud and clear to managers/govt,and will not go unnoticed by the great british public,FACED WITH A MASSIVE YES VOTE,WHERE THEN FOR MANDELSON/BROWN HIGSON ETC?
HISTORY DICTATES , A GOOD GENERAL KNOWS WHEN TO PICK A FIGHT,WE MUST NOT BE TRAPPED INTO A FIGHT UNTIL WE DICTATE AND DECIDE WHEN AND WHERE,and not when chaos managers fuelled by a desire to avoid a referendum on there inability to do the job that they are employed to do. :chuckle :chuckle
Great post ....... lets hope our members take the time to vote YES, and arent taken in by the lies that the management are telling.
And that we all stay disciplined and united !!

24 hours , 5am monday till 5am tuesday, sorry dont know the time of the thursday , but will post as soon as i find out.
Thursday 7 pm til Friday 7 pm.

Union must come forward with something viable at any meeting of members tomorrow or else I can see us being out for the week, Official or Un-official, it's turning pretty nasty in GMC.
