No one else seen it then?

Caught the tail end of this on Sky News the other day. Not sure of the entire story, but he mentioned something along the lines of "defending the pension scheme which we are about to do" ...... whatever that means

Are we almost nearly about to defend the pension scheme yet? It's been five months since we were "about to defend it"

We all should be getting some info in the next couple of weeks from H/Q updating us on whats going on,remember pensions was and is going to be a long haul with lots still to do to win the cause.We want our final salary scheme put back for starters.

I got this old phrase in my head, probably crap but could be a truism,"strike while the irons hot"
Guess ours is a pile of rust right now.
Still if you light a furnace, and blow a lot

Strike while the irons hot - bit late for that I agree - the Iron is now so far under the glacier I doubt that they would ever get it plugged back in.

Does anyone else get the impression that those "unrealistic lefties " who from the start of this fiasco have been saying "the union is just there to control the lot of you and get management agenda's introduced on the sly" ,that maybe, just maybe, they were right all along. Cos in practice it's turning out that way

Maybe we should all email Dave Ward till his inbox is full to busting. Just a thought

Yes, I get that impression too.

As long as we have men in the pay of New Laborious, leading our union, we're well and truly stuffed.

Does he have a different post code for each bum cheek?

Did he get on an I speak your weight machine and was told "sorry no coach parties?"

Can he pull his stomach over his head and use it as a swimming hat?

Can someone show me a pie chart to see if in 13 years time my pension will buy me some pies?

Shall I go on?

Cant wait to get my HCT (Pram) to carry my pension home in.

CWU Communication Workers Union thats stopped Communicating. Is it only our branch that has a crap CWU rep?

I think someone might have written a strongly worded letter to some people who don't care, maybe things will snowball from there
