Great result, now we need some proper industrial action, preferably all out but a minimum of 3 days action per week, until this is resolved.

3517 strike breakers

Great result though.

Now to stop annualised hours and depreciated sick pay, and maybe a small backdated pay rise, slightly later start and revisions happening within 2 weeks in our DO, so don't see any change after they have been input to our office , what a massive YES vote.

[sindba]

Let's go!

[twoloops]

I hope the 22.7% that did not vote & the 3517 that voted NO are now shitting a hedgehog

[claystones]

Great result lets keep the pressure up announce a few strike dates

[norris9]

Striking for another 6 months LETS GOOOOO!!!!!!

[pieoftheday]

Why would all those people not vote,one way or the other?

[DirtyHarry]

Let's hope the CWU uses this result wisely.

What a massive kick in the teeth to the Royal Mail board this result is. How many more times must we tell them, we don't like you, we don't trust you, we won't roll over for you?

It's a strange thing not voting, I mean I know it's hard to decide sometimes but to not vote at all means you have no influence on the future.

A lot of those prob had their ballot lost in the post or are people that are leaving the company.

[CRIBMAD]

WELL SAID EVERYONE ! true workers . To the 23% that did not vote SHAME ON YOU ALL !!!!

lets get these fookers on the board once and for all , keep the pressure on the strike breakers !

[Stryjo]

I voted yes but I don't intend to strike again.
I'm in a difficult financial situation and the last thing I want to do is waste money and hope that it can work out.
the company will surely not bend if it did not bend to the Christmas holidays.
If you don't have a family, you can go on strike as long as you want.

Perhaps quite a few did not receive their vote in time. I posted some 2 days ago.
