20 years ago we wouldn't even be having this discussion because the very mention of the word 'shares' would send shivers down your spine and send the UCW as it was into overdrive on the battle plan table.
That was when we 'were' a proper union with true socialist values and beliefs.
NO TRADE UNION SHOULD EVER, EVER ENTER INTO NEGOTIATIONS ABOUT 'SHARES' PHANTOM OR OTHERWISE!
SHARES MEAN ONE THING AND ONE THING ONLY: TOTAL PRIVATISATION!
YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE AND LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES OF THATCHERISM.
WHO NOW OWNS BRITISH GAS? CENTIRCA, they're French. Not Joe public.
EDF, EON to name just a few, the profits and dividends all end up abroad.
Worst of all, THESE FOREIGN OWNED BUSINESSES AND CARTELS ETC. WILL DISPENSE WITH ROYAL MAIL STAFF AND ASSETS ONLY TO EMPLOY THEIR OWN ON RUBBISH WAGES!
ROYAL MAIL & THE 'CON-DEMS' ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED!
PULL OUT OF ALL REVISIONS, DEALS, SCHEMES ETC. AND REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE RHETORIC THAT THE CWU AND RM MANAGEMENT HAVE BEEN SELLING US.
'WE DEFEAT THE BRITISH EMPIRE BY IGNORING IT!' EAMON DE VALERA.
'WE DEFEAT THE PRIVATISATION BY IGNORING IT!
THE BRITISH PEOPLE WANT US AS A PUBLIC SERVICE NOT A BUSINESS FOR FOREIGN PROFIT.
WE DON'T HAVE TO BE LIKE SHEEP, BEING TOLD THAT WE SHOULD MODERNISE. THAT IS JUST A SMOKE SCREEN WORD FOR CUTS AND PRIVATISATION TO FOLLOW.
NOW IS THE TIME TO PUT THE CAT AMONGST THE PIGEONS AND STOP HANDLING ALL 'DSA MAIL'.
THESE LEECHES ON OUR SERVICE SHOULD DELIVER THEIR OWN STUFF, END TO END BUT THE EU AND THE REGULATOR KNOW THAT THEY CAN'T DO IT, SO WE HAVE TO!
'NO WE DON'T!!! I AM BRITISH! I FOLLOW MY COUNTRY'S LAWS AND WAYS.
' I DO NOT RECOGNISE THE EU OR ITS LAWS OR IT'S PATHETIC ATTEMPTS TO
MANIPULATE OUR GOVERNMENT INTO DOING ITS EVIL DEEDS.
THE EU'S 'LIBERALISATION OF POSTAL MARKETS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING THAT IS WRONG WITH OUR POST OFFICE. FOR EVERYTHING THAT IS WRONG WITH OUR SERVICES!'
YOU CAN STICK THEM WHERE THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE AMIGO AND PUSH THOSE DIRECTIVES BACK INTO THE ENGLISH CHANNEL!
:dcfo :vcfo
therefore they can be moved around as and when the need arises!!
