Post by TrueBlueTerrier »

Sunderland members met at the gate today as a result of an attempt to impose new rotas. 18 jobs are at risk because its a plan to go from 1 in 4 to 1 in 6. the members and reps are determined to defend the right to collectively agree and vote on working arrangements and to defend the agreement on rotating. The reps were told its happening and they made it clear it's not. solidarity with our members in Sunderland.

It's usually 'Mags'.. a term coined by the mackems.

Geordies retaliate with SMB (Sad mackem Bastards).

Stupid and childish.

It was a quip, if anyone is overly concerned as to my allegiances they can search my past posts which I am sure will include many FTMs when discussing management.
