Martin will log in to RMC over the weekend and impart some words of wisdom, I’m sure.
The thing that gets me is Martin went from January 2024 to November 2024 without a single post on here. Nothing. I know sometimes things have turned personal on here but it would’ve been easy to setup a profile as CWU - I mean why wouldn’t the union want to have a presence on here? So when I see people saying ‘thanks Martin for posting on here, we appreciate it’……no, just no.

The union urgently need younger more vibrant leaders who talk passionately with energy. Ward+Walsh should offer their resignations.

Without even a threat of strike action,EP group can basically do as they please.

Need some new blood at top,ward & walsh have lost trust of membership and the last surrender document was final nail in coffin.

If we get some new faces in asap hopefully they can get some credibility back.

Exactly. We need new faces for people to rally behind. ASAP as a matter of urgency. We are dead in the water with this lot running the show.

Without leverage you don't negotiate - you concede. I'm getting a sense of deja-vu in this deal which is being deliberately dragged out to wear people down to present a weak deal with a lump sum thrown in before xmas and then say "well, its the best we could get".

Right now, it feels like we are being managed rather than represented
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

No need to call HR if you have the app, I cancelled using the app. The process is as follows
Scroll to the bottom tile of the app and open it (My App and HR Help)
Type something into the Search bar ie Pay.
At the very bottom of the next page click on the Ask a Question button.
On the next page click on the first option My pay
Next click on deductions from pay followed by voluntary deductions
Then simply type cancel my union subscription and the amount you pay weekly into the query box and submit.

I’m sure he might raise his head to call us all keyboard warriors because we are critical of the s**t job him Ward and the lot of them are doing. In their heads there can’t be anyone seriously questioning their genius in the real world, it’s just a few bots/whiners on social media.
They are doing gods work in that negotiation room.

That's an idea rather than simply stopping paying, they might reply asking for feedback regarding your reasons for leaving and if there's anything they can do to encourage you to stay.

At what point do the CWU become irrelevant as far as RM are concerned if sufficient staff cancel their subs?

There response

Code: Select all

Good afternoon

 

Your membership has now been cancelled.

 

Please be aware that, depending on the date of cancellation and your employer’s cut-off date for payroll, this may not be in time for your next payday. You can contact your payroll team directly to ensure no further deductions are taken.

 

If you do change your mind about cancelling then provided you let us know within the next few weeks we can re-instate your membership without there being any break shown in your length of service.
