The answer says it all - you would scab.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

You haven't really given me a solid enough reason what the men and women that have lost £1500+ have gained?

You also haven't give me a reason or reasons on why not to strike break?

As ive said before clashcityrocker RM no longer negotiate they consult. Please answer me this if the NW management refuse to enter into meaningful negotiation but the management in London do, does that mean we are all back out?? What gives the EC the right to call off any strike action without even consulting the members??

Now if we cancelled the action for the 6th & 9th but annouced new dates for the 13th and 16th that would of been ok and in the mean time Dave ward an the EC should have invited all the div reps, branch secs and area reps to London to explain why they think the strike should be called off, after giving there reasons all of the above should debated and then those present should have been asked to vote on whether it is enough to postpone I/A?? That is what a real democratic organisation would have done!! :mad :mad

Its funny when people use the word scab. They wouldnt say it too your face because they know if they did they would get a kicking. So why say it when your hiding behind a computer?

Its not a question of hissyfitting ant, look at the facts this is not an agreement it gives us nothing apart from a promise from RM to "talk" with CWU. If you think this was worth losing £1500+ you must be easily pleased :arrrghhh :arrrghhh

Why are we even giving Royal Mail the chance and breathing space not to play ball!? We were so close to FORCING them to play ball.

How can we trust them to play ball? This is the very same Royal Mail that had a secret document with all sorts of dirty tactics in it. The very same Royal Mail with managers that work for a bonus rather than the needs of the workforce. The very same Royal Mail where the managers bully, harass and intimidate the workforce into trying to work to the times and figures generated by a computer. The very same Royal Mail which quite frankly does not give a sh*t about it's workforce.

You are completely right that tis is not worth that.But lets not forget that royalmail wanted to steamroller everything through with no talks.At least they are talking.The EC were unanimous as far as I know(could be wrong),surely if there was nothing in this then at least one would have broken ranks?
Remember their people probably read this and if they think postmen on here are broken they will not negotiate in any meaningful way.If we are rolled over I will be the first to come on here and admit to being wrong but lets give it a few weeks.

you have to understand that some of us have lost 18 day's of pay backing this strike and waiting for the rest of the country to join us. we've had people in my office struggle to keep their head above the sh*t line but still we stayed 100% behind the strike. and now we're asking for what. does anyone really think that the manager's will want to carry on talking after xmas. nearly a month's pay lost freindship's put under a great strain and this is what the union deliver us................ we're not that green we can't see what's going to happen once xmas has come and gone.

NO ARGUMENT THEN OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE IM TALKING 100% SENSE.


If you had split your dribble into readable paragraphs I might of replied.

Course your talking 100% sense. I have no arguement. You win. :Applause
Now it's Saturday evening, I'm off for a shower then out to mates to watch a big Russian beat the s**t out of a little British man.

By the way and just to clarify..........YOU ARE TALKING ABSOLUTE s**t.
i thought you said the russian was going to beat the crap out of the little british man :left: :cuppa
