ellesmere port ballot result

ellesmere port monday 18th june 2-1 in favour vote for the horror list,

well as predicted the amazing 2-1 in favour vote for the horror list,this is like turkeys voting for christmas. if it wasn't so laughable you would of thought it was april fools day! with the insertion on the returns sheet of nearly 400 ballot papers not returned.well so much for the union seen to be whiter than white on this one as it has left them open to some very dire questioning about their whole handling of this sorry state of affairs.this is what happens when you dont send your ballot papers to the nationaly recognised independent scrutineers at the electoral reform services instead of the local council who for their own vested interest dont want to see a NO vote.well i can only say to the rest of gme i hope your not sold down the river!this is the reality of non solidarity when we dont stick together and do deals behind each others backs!

Nevertheless, it is a matter of fact that the unions will not sign any agreement with GM as long as a European Future Contract until 2016 for all Delta plants has not been concluded. That is the most important thing from my point of view. A ballot 2:1 is not a bing thing but it is a majority if you like it or not. Maybe all unions in Europea have to lern their lesson and to improve for the next round of pressure set up by GM. One thing is for sure: The European Works Council is so strong as the local unions make him by not making concessions before a European Framework is signed. So let us focus on doing this instead of blaming each other.
It makes you wonder if the ballot result was fixed? Talk on the shop floor was that it would be rejected!!
i'll post it on here next week
the woman of E,P have done it again, when will they learn that is not the end, next we will be forced to give up shift allowances @ bonuses, then what . And was'nt the ballot oh so independent ha ha ha i dont think so.
Whats on the horror list?
Is your local council official on the T&G union like mine Comrade???
An absolute disgrace of a independent ballot in my opinion but we are just the membership which carries no weight even with our own elected representitives. See you Saturday!!!!!
Well when that comes in, I wont be staying there!!!
