[heathrow86]

Would the managers union Unite come out as well? Or is it just the uniform side again?????? Can the CWU answer that?

Good question....

Paul Reuter: Unite to Oppose Mail Privatisation
Unite's reaction to Government's decision to press ahead with the privatisation of Royal Mail
Paul Reuter, Unite's national officer for Royal Mail said:
"The majority of people in this country do not support the privatisation of Royal Mail. They expect a universal service, a universal tariff and don't want the cost of posting a letter to be at the mercy of the profiteers. Once again the ConDems are riding roughshod over Britain, putting cuts, big business and profits before people.
"Managers at Royal Mail are opposed to privatisation. They are not prepared to see the postal service that they are very proud of disintegrate into a free-for-all for the private sector, which will cherry pick its way to profit. Unite members at the Royal Mail will vigorously campaign to protect the service and their jobs."
Unite the union represents 15,000 managers at Royal Mail.

Not exactly fighting talk but what do you expect...
I can't see the CWU even balloting it's members for strike action never mind returning a YES vote.
The chances of UNITE doing it are even slimmer.

To the people who wouldn't back the Union in a strike ballot,remember,that no matter how bad things get in the future you can't complain.So don't come on here bitching in the future because you refused to defend yourself.

No but some would argue they are co-signatories - Still I would support a strike call on Privatisation and would back the Democratic result as I am convinced that the CWU lets us down because of a disconnection from the grass roots, where as Tories screw us as its Political Dogma for them to do so.
