You're going to vote for either strike action or action short of a strike.

Oh and it's Rule 13.
1. The NEC, Annual Conference, Special Conference or a properly convened BranchMeeting may in furtherance of the Union’s objectives decide to authorise, endorse, callor take industrial action, including strike action. All such action must be within the lawand in accordance with, and in compliance of, all statutory obligations, inclusive ofballots etc. Where a Branch decides to take action to protect immediate local interests,the General Secretary and NEC must be informed. 2.

For the avoidance of doubt it is confirmed that nothing contained in these Rulesempowers a Branch or any other person, committee, group or body of persons toauthorise, endorse, call or take industrial action without there being a statutory ballotand compliance in all other respects with the requirements of Part V of the TradeUnion and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 as amended or replaced fromtime to time.

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.

Well obviously you're ready if only the CWU was. If this deal is less than ground breaking I can see a lot of Rule 13s going in which would just highlight how inept the union feel for the membership is.
