Being a rep
Not sure if all reps have the same issues but in my office its like looking after 200 kids. I get blamed for everything, too hot, too cold, MC lorry is late. Now I'm blamed for the lapsing even though I've been saying do the job properly but no the early starters still come in early, don't take their meal relief, don't use the equipment and the rest of us have to suffer.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
Illegitimi non carborundum

Everything's my fault.
Wish more people had the balls to do things properly
And strike

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: Being a rep
There are 92 in our office and if it were my business I don't think I would honestly want to employ more than 10 of them. Most moan continuously about everything and basically want to get paid for 39 hours, but work for 27.

Re: Being a rep
Been there done that , it's like herding cats at times. The rep is there to make sure everybody is treated fairly and not to give the membership an easy life. You can only help them that are prepared to help themselves and you. The union is only as strong as it's membership. I found beer helps

Re: Being a rep
All of the above
fed up with the role walking away after revision, time for someone else to stand up!! Plenty of OPGs/members with something to say and passionate about the issues both local and national.

You're the only rep I know who's jacked it in more times than me.
You'll be back,we always go back.
It's a masochistic streak.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Same in my office, but the DOM is the biggest problem, ghost overtime has never been so bad, why do some feel they should be paid more for doing the same hours?? Dom has his click and he thinks he's one of the lads.
