HOW MANY WILL GO IN

Post by the beautiful bd south »

Happens everytime, a few always show a lack of morals..
One year at our office the managment arranged to pick anybody up who wanted to work from outside the Police station...
A few guys went up with a camera to take some snaps but nobody turned up to go in to work :nana

There are far too many of these freeloaders. They're maggots living off the benefits we've won for them.

I am a part timer, my wife is on incapacity benefit & frankly we can't afford to strike.....but, paying subs or no subs, I'd still stay out, on the basis that I either take a stand or get shafted & getting offered 2.5% was all the incentive I needed to vote for IA.
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

You're a credit Jim. You've got more bottle and moral fibre than a thousand strike breakers.

I feel embarrassed to get these congratulations :oops: - if I accept the 2.5% ( no bloody hope of getting local or national savings payments imho ), I will be living at a loss - at best I will only break even ( bear in mind we have no savings & are unable to put money away for savings )....if I strike, I could be living at a loss, maybe break even - but the purpose is to improve my position & it's in the hope it will only be short term.....to me, the decision is a no brainer.
