He IS leaving

[guardianangel]

We knew this was coming ,time to VOTE NO and call strikes and give a new CEO something to think about,oh and i hope he gets a visit by the law for committing a criminal offence of misleading a UK regulator don't let him slip quietly out the back door and get away with it and pay Ricky a visit too.

Considering the companies financial position I'm sure he won't receive millions to do one

[anthonyok]

Already ruined the company ,will get good money for leaving and go on to butcher another company,these people are the lowest of low .

[Shirtbuttons]

Too late , the damage is done. We don’t care anymore.

[DirtyHarry]

Doesn't matter.

It's not like there's been a decent CEO up to now, and whoever succeeds Thompson, will want to carry on where he left off.

Thompson will go, leaving a severely weakened union behind him.
His successor, whoever it is, will seek to kill it off.
And they will.

[DirtyHarry]

Stage managed

Means nothing really - he was here tasked to do a number on us, and has succeeded by the looks of it

Next guy will be along to do whatever he is told to do from above

Moyas gone, hip hip hooray - welcome Rico he cant be as bad as Moya

Ricos gone, hip hip hooray - welcome Simon he cant be as bad as Rico

Simons gone, hip hop hooray......

This.

The onslaught on our jobs and T&Cs will continue regardless.
And with a union as patently weak as the CWU, what's to stop them?

[TopperGas]

His partner in crime, Keith Williams, also needs to go not given the task of helping to appoint his successor.

As the last ballot suggests the union weren't weakened but those that lead the union were weakened. How can a union leadership in their right mind, despite any other change, allow a reduction in sick pay or ihr. Its madness.

They did it for the most selfish of reasons, self-interest.
They thought more about their positions, and the salaries that go with them, than they did their members hellish working conditions, and weakened T&Cs.

3 topics merged, popular fella this Thompson.

I know pride doesn't pay the bills but a job without a future long term because of greedy parasitic overlords deserves to be brought down.

No they won't. How can you kill off 115000 Union members?
The vote won't divide us. We will alway's support the majority vote, if it's yes or no.
Have you also noticed that I'm using the term "We"
Are you hoping for something that's not going to happen?

[Bboingg]

Don't worry, Simon Thomson was easy on you, the next one will give you a real hard time.

I guess you're not a Postman/Woman?
You would have used the term "Us" if you were.

[Flashman_]

I guess the union will now claim victory, that he will go.
Well timed to encourage the gullible that RMG will now be a better more trustworthy company and so you nice little people should all vote yes!
Everything about this dispute was engineered, he has done his job impeccably.
