Anyone feel "shafted" by our wonderful Union

Post by Urban Smith »

Not going to make a major rant yet.

Have a look at the proposals and see if you think it's a great deal.

My major grievance is unlimited D2D's for £20.60 a week, unlimited (i get more for 3 a week now).

Union = tossers

Definately feel shafted and will feel worse if this 'deal' gets voted in.

This, perhaps more than anything, has really pissed me off. How can this be allowed? This is discrimination...surely?

Yep agree, totally screwed and shafted, and therefore think the "NO" vote seems the ticket!

Anyone remember when part-timers were regarded as the fur coat and brolly brigade? People with other full-time jobs being greedy. Well, in our office the moment they got on the end of a Manager's tongue they wanted to join the Union and were the first out of the door during a dispute. Eventually they became a force to be reckoned with.

I suggest that those part-timers who will feel most upset by this agreement might take action of their own and formally dispute the normal pro-rata system. I'm bloody sure I would. If each of them slapped in a disagreement the moment they are adversely affected by pro-rata the system will clog up.
