Yes, only those London based professional socialists who run the CWU could have called for a national demo at a time and day when most of the membership will be out delivering mail.
The latest on the pay offer is 2.3% backdated to October 1st 2001. 2.3% from November 2002 and no further negotiations until October 2003.
This will be put to a ballot.
Sheffield walked out yesterday, but went back today when disciplinary action against four drivers was dropped.
So much for the no-strike agreement. If you wan't something done, leave it to the rank and file, the union bosses will sell you out every time.
