What concerns me more then anything is not the right to take industrial action if the DIm Doms decide to go about the agreement in there usual manner, then I can see we will be in a no win situation , so I am hoping that the wording is watertight that in future we will be able take industrial action if the need arises.

If the Pec votes yes for it I will look forward to reading it

essex mum :cuppa
If there is a clause in the agreement that takes away our right to industrial action, it beggars believe that the negotiating team have rubber stamped the proposal. it is the only effective tool we have. RM weren't interested in any form of negotiation until we went on strike. Without this option all influence the CWU and its members have will evaporate, leaving no purpose for having a union.

Long overdue!

It is hoped that with the length of time it has taken it IS the right deal.

No point in guess work now just waiting for the PEC to ratify it and then we can get to work on it.

I agree with you on this but we will have the final say on this or so we have been assured on here but that remains to be seen!.

My concern with this being in the agreement is that when put to the vote, the lump sum brigade will win out as was the case in 2007.

Who knows what is in the agreement that remains to be seen we can only guess till we all see it and that will be after the PEC has seen it and passed it on for us all to vote on!.
