Another good read and well presented article.

Fictional Ian gives a good insight into what's coming.

Still waiting to see what the PWRFC suggest as the fightback.

I see the advertising, yet to see some content.
Looking at the article it appears they're calling on workers to set up their own committees and to force the CWU to start fighting back. Workers hold the keys to everything. Without us industries are nothing. These million pounds bosses couldn't do our jobs. The hundred of thousands of pounds trade union leaders couldn't do our jobs. We could do theirs no problem. It's about time we got the millions and they got the pounds.
Every article they write calls on workers to set up committes still dont know of any all bluster.
You can start one. Give it a go.

It's hard enough setting up tea rounds in most DO's setting up committees to fight the CWU is just total and utter nonsense.
Not in my experience it isn't. The CWU don't like it but that's because they can't dominate and control workplace committees. Workers are calling for a fightback against this delivery method. They don't support the CWU. Thats why the CWU never put the trials to a vote. They knew they'd lose.

If the question was do you want to trial this or move to a 3 day/week delivery then they would have won.
People are resistant to change - more so in RM than any other walk of life in my experience.

I thought the rank and file were getting the trials stopped. How is that going?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Tell us all then, how many people are actually joining your swelling movement and can we expect to see you on the streets with these protests on what is happening inside Royal Mail.
I am genuinely interested to see if anybody is buying into this bullshit.
So you agree with what the article says but you don't agree with the messenger? Put aside your sectionalism and fight back.
Yet again nothing but a bit of name calling, any chance of saying what you are offering us apart from some words.
Even i could do a better job.
Criticising the union is easy, we do it all the time, but then again we pay into it and are entitled to voice our displeasure.
All you do is try to incite, constant sniping at anything you dislike or think you dislike, without any alternative. You believe the workers will rise up and revolt, but those days are gone and 1970's sitcoms is what you lot look like, Wolfie would be proud of you but then again that is fiction, back in the real world we need some meat on the bone, not just the bone.
Put together something of note and then get back to us.
You are the meat on the bone. You are the one that can make the difference. It's not somebody else's job to smash the CWU. From what I can see and you acknowledged the PWR&FC is putting stuff together. They've certainly put out more information that workers can relate to than the CWU.
WTF are you on, you want us to smash the organisation that collective bargains with the company on our behalf?
In return for what?
A organisation that is offering us precisely nothing!
PWR&FC is offering me personally absolutely nothing.
But sure we will all destroy the CWU on your behalf!
