Should I join the Union?

[happymackem]

yes,yes,yes,yes,yesthe cwu maybe crap but you might need them sometime
so yes join marra

[TeeferTiger]

Yes, but not because you're expecting them to grow a spine.

I joined purely because I knew I would technically have more "rights" if you like and the back up of a union rep if I ever needed one (which recently I have).

does the rep have a spine

Well this depends on the rep of course

Personally i think it a tough thankless job which takes a very thick skin. I ve worked alongside my office rep and know the extra mile he will go for the office or person who has problems.

Why not have ago yourself, if you have a spine

Blimey 35 years service, a legend nowadays

Guess your spine is a little creaky like mine then, i blame the pesky d2d,s

I would join the union if your local union rep are good and worth the money, but if your union rep is crap there is no point of spending money supporting the union.

If he doesn't like his rep he can always go above him/her if he has any problems.

I meant the CWU as a whole not having a spine, given the last lot of "deals" we got. Not nececelery the local rep.
