I don't think that Maggots like those strike breakers who do overtime off the backs of striking workers, can sink any lower. :so there

I know exactly how I'd deal with them. :evil/mad

I think thats a disgrace you are totally selfish. Think of yourself because you are retiring. Maybe you should just scab as well because you don't give a sh*t about your fellow workmates that are out on strike with you, do you.

We were off on friday deliveries at E15 and the strike covered the throughs. We had 2 strike breakers come in and work the through and then pleaded ignorance to the factwe were out on strike.
Our machine men were on the through as well.
I give up in our office the managers are rubbing their hands with glee

wrong i will back the union and my mates who are out weather our cause is right or wrong, if you are not prepared to back the union you should not be in it, whats bugging me is these 5 think they are being clever but when this is allover and things go tits up they will be the one's with the biggest mouths asking whats the union doing about it, i feel sorry for the guys who are out and i will stand by them till the end i just wish there was more that i could do but come saturday if we are out i will be the first there on the picket line come rain or shine .

In the last lot of industrial action we had one guy stand on the picket line for about an hour drinking beer someone had brought for refreshments then promptly walked into the office for his shift....
Gladly he was later finished for his sick record..

someone in my office was on annual leave and out on OT on a unofficial strike, not so long ago and worked! so they were getting paid even if they werent there, but the fact they were on holiday and getting about 40hrs OT pissed a few people off
