Just scroll down and watch both union leaders .........who would you want ?

[BELIAL]

The one with some backbone and a bit of fire in his belly, the one who is willing to step outside his cosy world to protect his members T& c's even though the media will rubbish him. Take more than a pub dust up to silence some folks

Please, could we have a scream smiley put up? every time I see Big.B. that's all I want to do! He has not supported us,so why should we support him,i do not know how he can show his face in public.

[DirtyHarry]

No contest.
Bob Crowe is a fantastic example of what a trade unionist should expect of their leader. RMT members are very fortunate to have him, railway bosses the unluckiest set of corporate w*****s today.

As for Billy Hayes, I despair, just despair.

Bob Crow, top bloke. always there every year at Tolpuddle and always has time for a chat.

Billy oh dear what a plonker,we really dont care about half the stuff he rambles on about,i just want to go to work and do a fair days work for a fair days pay,not be hassled by managers and intimadated into doing overtime.we have been told that they are using the lightest day of the year to run figures through the office,my 2 hour prep is 2 hours on a light day but the figures say 50 minutes and so they want people to prep other rounds as well.what a mess its going to be with up to 8 jobs not covered regularly and staff from other offices and managers out on delivery.The nearest mailcentre closed and its a nightmare.

No Brainer: Bob Crowe
Billy boy did himself and us no favours by cosying up to Labour in the hope of getting a safe seat in Parliament.

Bob Crow, yes the man with his fingers in his ears. Why not, hes just as dim as Hayes.

Who is your top Union man then Night Tonic.

BTW Benedict Arnold does not count - wrong type of Union.

[Night Tonic]

Someone that can engage other bodies that are smarter and backed up by private advisors. Crow this week acted like a child not attending conference because King would be there. "I'm not listening, I'm not listening".Yes, just the sort of figurehead you want heading the CWU then.

And what did Bob miss? King saying that "it wasn't union members fault that the country was in the crapper, it was the fault of the bankers, the financiers, but, and this is a very big but, somebody has to pay, and that somebody 'aint gonna be the bankers or the financiers, that somebody is gonna be your members. Unfair, I know, but ho hum, such is life, as the famous Australian banker, Ned Kelly, said before being hanged for highway robbery, something bankers and financiers are rather good at."

If I was Bob Crow, I would have done exactly the same thing, just a pity more didn't follow his lead.

Remember Benny Hills song 'Ernie' Well, I'm constantly singing a stale pork pie hit him in the eye. Billy that is ,
