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.

to right and thats my opinion as well , the last straw for me is the company just throwing in van share and still no fight back , and then they take the piss by just telling members not to do it, subs well spent then :crazy:

Why is everyone on here so determined to have a strike? You have a job, it might not be as good as it once was, but you have an income, im sure a lot of people would be grateful of that right now.

Other than the thread title "Strike" and the first comment asking whether the "CWU are deliberately stalling on a strike vote".

It's a question.
Do we really need to go off topic to do basic English comprehension lessons.
Are the CWU deliberately stalling on another strike vote to help Royal Fail get through Xmas ?
What if the OP wanted the union to stall, what if he didn't want a strike?
Wouldn't the question look exactly the same?

Can't see that getting past a court either. Don't forget you've got things like covid test kits, etc going through the system, any work to rule would potentially affect that stuff

It’s voluntary, your not being forced to do anything.

Working to rule is an individual's choice the union cant encourage or condone working to rule it has to be done unofficially so to speak.

Do you really think that in the middle of world wide pandemic where Royal Mail are delivering Covid Test kits , PPE , medical supplies and where the government have introduced emergency legislation that there is any chance whatsoever that we would legally be able to be balloted let alone take action ! Get real. If the reason Royal Mail got an injunction in 2019 was on the basis of the general election the pandemic dwarfs that.
