This has gone way off the topic if politicians get a 11% rise for wrecking the country I think Bob was well worth his money fighting for workers rights to have fair days pay for a fair days work. We need more like him in my opinion. Keep the red flag flying.

Unions defend ordinary working people like yourself and all you do is knock themAmen to that
Unions bring the country to a standstill and all you do is knock them
I'm sure he wouldn't go by bus , Prescot has got a few spare Jags they could use
Well ...... as I said on another thread, at the rate *this one's being d~r~a~g~g~e~d out, Bob'll be firmly "planted" (or whatever) before *it ends.
Arthur by saying it's dragged out you have resurrected it again lol
I have now added to that!
It's a popular thread
I'm not saying anything
Neither am i on paddy s day
I'll just add that I'm alright Jack
Good for you, do you want a rep for that
really, Ded
... but
really appeals to my rather
I left my apprenticeship in the printing industry because of the two opposing unions within the same company..Unions defend ordinary working people like yourself and all you do is knock them
I was only 17 years old and knew I had to get out!!
Scary .....!!
It's the same in the Philippines. My friend and I had on the job training (OJT) in PLDT on our last semester in college. There was a union strike that time for a week so we were off that week. When we got back after that, I can't believe how they treated the ones who didn't join them in the strike. A few officemates that they were so close with before the strike, they were condemning them and seems like bullying them and saying nasty things to them after. These aren't just people on the minimum wage, these include supervisors, managers, and such (the ones bullying). I believe the ones they were bullying were asked to be transferred to another office/dept because they didn't go to that work after a few weeks of being bullied. That made me put off applying for work there.

...When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible...
Typical union behaviour if you don't join 'Their Club'
I beat you to it Simon, be it a subjective rep.........it is after all, the whole point of itGood for you, do you want a rep for that
Im sure Marco would agree......bullying is out of order
Who’d a-thunk it? A union uses bullying tactics to intimidate workers who have exercised their rights?
are you speaking from experience Les ? gaWaPito seems to have done really well being a member of a union,
gaWaPito is your union like that
Didn't have to be a member of the 3rd reich to know how they behaved.
Unions looking after member is ok
Just leave the rest of us out of it.
I well remember the miners strike, death threats being made
People being labelled scabs etc
3 day week
Secondary picketing
Bullies!
Not at allare you speaking from experience Les ? gaWaPito seems to have done really well being a member of a union,
gaWaPito is your union like that
That's worth a subjectable rep
I would imagine gawapito has good reasons for not liking unionsare you speaking from experience Les ? gaWaPito seems to have done really well being a member of a union,
gaWaPito is your union like that
He probably tried to go it alone in some work place and broke all the rules the union had spent years getting in place
We have a couple of unions in my workplace Aslef and RMT they get along fine without and problems
Workers are free to join a union or not these days
People should be free to do want they want when it comes to going on strike

Any bullying or intimidation after any strike is a big no no
Over 20 union officials have been murdered in the Philippines over the last decade
Along with journalists good union officials don't last long there!
These are very outdated views and things have moved on a lot since Scargill was around
