the latest forecast

[brunswick]

the latest forecast for job loses to our industry is in the region of 60,000,now this sort of number can only be acheived if full privatisation takes place, partial privatisation would please peter mandelson (lord help us). full privatisation is what the tories want (god help us.) if the worst scenario were to prevail then the following will take place-- significant postal charges, tnt charges on the continent are approx double ours. later deliveries, possibility of saturday deliveries being abandened, oh! and i forgot to mention the decimation of management numbers, make no mistake this dispute is all about privatisation.

Decimating Management grades - the historical meaning in this is 1 out of 10 legionnaires were killed if they rebelled, by their colleagues.

I can see a decimation being looked on as an underestimation. I honestly believe once RM have got their way then I would estimate a minimum of 1 in 3 being reassigned to postal roles, and 1 in 3 being "rationalised" to other employment providers.

Worrying times for them but are the CWU going too let them back in the fold as it were if so how many more would leave the CWU?. Maybe they could form their own union as such Strikebreaker's Cock's And Bastards union!.
