You have to write in code for 'canty' seems he has a strange and peculiar way to use the english language. perhaps we could write it in reverse maybe it would make more sense to him as he's not grasped the idea of posting legible rantings :nana

New one to me that one. You can work for whoever you like surely, and sure you have a right to strike but thats only viable if lots stand with you. They won't. If that was a winner, don't you think the CWU would have called one immediately?

Ask the CWU what they signed up to on the pay and modernisation deal and why they can't do a thing about the pension change - ask them.
To be honest Nt I think you may have been suckered by a bit of RM double speak and propaganda . Re read the original agreement ,the only thing the CWU signed up to was a consultation period ,there was no guarantee of binding acceptance for the outcome of said consultation, hence ,like it or not, the ballot and it's 94% rejection of RM's pension changes. Suppose us 94% will just have to make a stand, isolated and alone :chuckle

They won't call a strike because they wouldn't gain anything except a long drawn out one that would seriousy chip into the great union leader's salaries and get you - wait for it - sod all.

As for employing posties, well yes, hardly transferrable skills but surely most of us have more skills than walking about with bits of paper. Give these a try if you're skill-challenged: http://www.securedmail.co.uk

IM SORRY MY FRIEND IM NO ONES SLAVE(CAN YOU SAY THE SAME)JUST MY OWN KNOWLEDGE.

WE KNOW SOCIALISM/COMMUNISM NO MATTER HOW GOOD A GOAL IT IS DOESN'T WORK.
EXAMPLE LAST 2 LARGE COMMUNIST COUNTRIES NORTH KOREA...PEOPLE STARVING TO DEATH
CHINA IS COMMUNISM IN NAME ONLY..ITS FULLY CAPITALIST NOW BUT WITHOUT THE FREEDOMS

THATS IS THE REASON YOU LOT CAN BE BOUGHT OF FOR£ 400 PRO RATA COS WE ARE ALL NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE CLAIM WERE DOING IT FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF THE JOB ,WE ARE IN IT FOR AS MUCH AS WE CAN GET FOR AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE.YOU KNOW IT,I KNOW IT AND RM KNOWS IT.YOU SIT AT HOME IN THE HOUSES YOU BOUGHT WITH YOUR 2 NEWISH CARS OUTSIDE TAKE YOU HOLIDAY ABROAD AND TRY TO CONVINCE YOURSELVES YOUR NOT CAPITALIST..WHICH IS WHY YOU TRY TO SHOUT TWICE AS LOUD AS EVERYONE ELSE THAT YOUR RIGHT AND WERE JUST SLAVES OF OLD STREET(AS IF I EVEN NO OR CARE WHAT THAT IS).
More rubbish coming out of your mouth again Canttypeshoutsandtalkscrap. In the SE I can't afford to buy a property (£200k for a 2 bedroom), I live in local authority housing flat, I can't afford 1 car let alone 2, last time I went on holiday was 4 years ago...........So next time you post rubbish like that..........THINK BEFORE YOU TYPE! :evil/mad
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Blah Blah Blah. Aint half glad there are really SMART CLEVER people in the UK working as posties that can keep the uneducated postie OIKS in the place they belong in the gutter! I BOW TO YOU! OH I DONT KNOW? LOL? I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THICK and i struggle to keep up with your so fast and quick mind! LOL. But one thing i trust is if the CWU get any type of reversal in the pension farce you will of course lobby to keep your new but crap pension rather than the FS scheme that we enjoyed in the past before we were ROBBED what do you say big boy. LOL.?
A good example of how losing the point can quickly lead to sarcastic attacks.
Not a postie BTW, never have been, and never will be.
"Trust" all you like, but it's irrelevant now; it's a done deal as most (apart from the dreamers on here apparently) now recognise.
The worst that can happen is a another month or so of disjointed industrial action, followed by further talks where RM reluctanly stump up another 0.25% pa on the pension, but striking has cost us considerably more than we gained and the CWU's position is further weakened.
What a result for those with their heads firmly stuck "where the sun don't shine"... :Applause

Its a sad state of affairs when a contract is not worth the paper it's written on, all the people who are criticizing those of us, that are trying to get our contracts honoured should have a think about the stand they are taking, they say there is "honor amongst thieves" there certainly doesn't seem to be in some business men in this country "It is important we safeguard the future of the pension fund for our people, who regard the FINAL-SALARY PENSION SCHEME as a key benefit of working for RM" Adam Crozier Feb 2007
