hes back from delivery now. do you think he wears the tie all the time or is it just for tv.
well said that the main thing is not about pay. and also about part time contracts. and on unworkable absorbtion. The man should be a union leader, hes well articulated and knows what hes talking about.

and as soon as he finishes talking, a little bit of txt comes up at the bottom saying that the strikes are about pay, even tho he said that wasnt the main bone of contention. the press love it dont they.
