Time to leave the union.

just emailed them to cancel , i might as well save myself £14 a month and fight my own corner like i always have done , cwu all talk and no action

I’m sure you will still be pocketing the lump sum and pay rise happily enough though?

Woody in most circumstances I would be inclined to agree with you regarding the silent majority. I personally voted no but I'm not gonna criticise anyone who voted yes- but i genuinely think most decided to vote yes - not because its a good deal , but rather the fact that the Cwu are now finished as we know it. To stand back and allow executive action to be taken while they had a signed agreement to pause realignments was the final nail in the coffin and unfortunately RM will now do whatever like whenever they like from now on

Agreed it's not the end result I thought we'd be getting after 18 days of strike action and the solidarity gained from the previous ballots but there we are. The members have spoken and we must accept the new Terms and conditions. I feel the lump sum should have been the same amount for both FT & PT.

Just be thankful most of us are perched on the better tier (for now) of what will soon become a multi-tiered workforce.

Brilliant news really. The dispute is over.
The job ain’t what it used to be and changes will continue to come. But all in all an expected outcome to a toxic dispute.

[yellowbelly]

Really?

75% of people supported a deal that was worse than the first one which we were almost all up for striking over?

I am proud to be different and shall embrace that fact that people just f-ing baffle me.

Based on the turnout and % of yes votes just over 50.86% of eligible voters said yes, the others said no/didn't vote,
so it's hardly a ringing endorsement for this deal!

Is there a choice then? Can you refuse to accept it , or can you negotiate your own deal.

Obviously not representative of the membership though.

What with 75% plus yes vote ,woody was right saying the silent majority, can't be heard for the noise of the minority.
