If your not a member you will not recieve any info , you could ask a MEMBER and they might tell you,
I take it you won`t be accepting any pay rise / payment ect that the cwu are trying to achieve in the talks ?

Not being funny here, but you really do come across as a bit of a wrong `un.

Why would the CWU contact a non member. If you don't pay dues you don't get the info (unless its through here of course. Non members have to rely on RM keeping them informed officially.

Typical non member. You'll be first in the queue bleating and crying when you lose your job. Oh and when the managers try to bully you even more and force you to do prep tests (because you're not in the union) don't start moaning to members........... oh btw look forward to seeing you cross the picket line! :dance

If that's the case, does that mean non union members will not be shafted when the union shaft us. By the way I'm a member.

Too right ! If we all have to pay £3/week for the union to negotiate
1. more workload for the same money
2. more redundancies
3. loss of D2D payments (and more of them to deliver)
4. later starts / later finishes
then you should have to suffer and pay for things you don't want like the rest of us :evil/mad

Maybe a lot of people left the Union after the fantastic deals that were the Way Forward and P&M 2007 were voted in by members with the brain capacity of a retarded hamster? The deals that ruined the job and destroyed overtime pay and benefits.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.
