Summary:Twonk decided to buy a 'lovely' pen from the USof A for $98.99 or £60.00 in proper money and is complaining about the Royal Mail International Handling Fee for collecting the VAT,and then some.
He's slagging of the union,and feels we should be privatised.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

You guys are so funny! Again I’m not sure why people seem to think you can replace the word have with of? But I digress. I do love your message board:-

Probably less than what you donate to the Labour party through your Union dues? You pays your price and takes your choice. Personally I'd be asking why is the CWU giving the Labour Government so much money given what Lord Mandelson has said.

:dance

Feel free to tell me I'm wrong of course!

You're wrong.
AFAIK 2p weekly from the political levy is for affiliations/donations yo the Labour Party.
That's £1.04p per year.
So it would take about 58 years to donate £60 to the Labour Party.

I think you are the one who would get the better value with a bic pen than giving the Government a penny. I trust given you have such an issue with the Government you will have opted out of the political levy?

The political levy (10p a week) does not all go to the Labour Party - only 2p.
The rest is used for other 'political' campaigns such as the Keep the Post Public campaign.
I would rather not donate anything to the Labour Party, but have not opted out of paying
the political levy (yet anyway) because it would mean that I would not get a vote when we
eventually get a ballot on disafilliation.

But the Union is stil giving the current Government (well the Labour party) hundreds of thousads of pounds. Why arent the members tellingthe Union leadership to cease funding the party.

We have done through the Annual Conference, but are still waiting for a ballot.
Disaffiliation can only be done by a ballot of all the membership.
