[Scotland1990]

This will probably be my last hour in the union. If the vote is yes then I’m out. Complete sell out by the union.

Have you always had that approach to voting?
That if the result doesn’t go the way you want you just jack it in?

I think a lot of the membership feel this way, I'm afraid it's feeling like our own union leaders are another layer of management. I never in my 35 years would think it would come to this!

[POP2022]

I would imagine it’s been because of the incompetence of the union at the highest level and that they have had enough of working for a company with appalling standards.
Loads have left before and loads will leave after the result

You might as well jack in the job as well then, as whatever the result, we are in for big changes. How people can think this is the best time to go it alone, without union support, is beyond me.

Same here.

I am aware of the feelings, merely pointing out the coincidence that this is perhaps the first time in the history of the CWU that we have had such a difficult and opinion split vote.

And that perhaps some of the membership should reflect on whether it’s fair to chuck it after such a “good run” of results in their favour comes to an end.

[Numberone63]

I never got a vote as I’m on a 6 month career break. Even after loosing the strike pay and supporting the strikes. So I’ve already emailed CWU to cancel any further subs after 14 years of contributions.

Agreed i think its gonna get nasty in the near future the union as useless as they are might offer some sliver of protection.

Same here.

snap and most of our office has said the same thing .

[worktotime]

i wonder if they will waffle on for a bit telling us what a cracking deal they have got and how much they pushed the company back , bollocks .

The problem is the Union is toothless, they have Zero clout these days and that's before all this.

You may aswell save yourself some money in subs because the Union is as good as finished imo.
