Well I haven't seen one either and TBH I couldn't care less - the CWU have peed up our backs again, but I don't expect anything else these days.
Strange how all those who think they are going to get somewhere in the greater scheme of things are, like the NEC,

totally conspicuous by their absence on these pension forums.

Come on boys surely there is some spin that can be put on the situation to look like a victory for the muppet twins and their entourage.

:crazy: Sorry Folks - twas merely a flippant remark. I'm certain - that a lot of 'damage limitation' - has taken place - in order - for our Union to survive. I did not - mean to suggest - or imply - for one moment - that our leaders have merely been protecting their positions & income! Speaking - of which:-

You wont,your rep will/should,then he'll come round with them for you guys to vote then send them back to the branches.

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.

Yes the same thing happened at work to day but you can all go and see your rep and ask for a

ballot paper if you have not received one. FOR THIS IS YOUR FUTURE VOTE NOW AND VOTE YES.

The staff rep is giving them out because they want everyone to vote this time if they are posted out half will not be bothered to reply then they have won and will take another holiday

Ballot papers in Bristol were not sent out. I understand the CWU could not afford to send them (too many jollies?). Management refused to have an on-site ballot, as they want this steamrollered in. I was handing out ballot papers yesterday, but no dount, balloting by these means will mean it to be invalid. 85% of managers have rejected their pension deal. Why dont the CMA and CWU work together on this one?
