They're the sort who collaborated with the Nazis, fought against the abolition of the slave trade, fought against the abolition of child labour and who want a society where the weak, the handicapped and the elderly are trampled under foot. They're less than nothing. A scab makes a fly on a dog turd look dignified in comparison. I would place a scab in the same bracket as muggers, drug barons, pimps, dealers in pornography, burglers, racists, arms dealers, con artists and other malcontents which are a feature of the capitalist society. I couldn't think any less of a scab than I already do. strike breakers and bosses - scum, every last one of them.

OK not gonna argue with that, except where you put down dealers in pornography, that's one of the main forms of currency in our office. :shock:
I haven't even got a pornograph to play it on. :wink:

Have just heard that in Tonbridge they are offering vans with blacked out windows to take you in SA rates and free meal that's what I call DESPERATE!
In the last strike it was my day off so I was on the PICKET LINE getting soaked and as I am a rep I felt a hypocrite standing there with my colleagues knowing my pay would not be docked so I will be donating to CWUHA. NO WAY AM i THINKING OF CROSSING THE LINE AND NO OTHER MEMBER SHOULD EITHER NOR NON MEMBERS AS THEY HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS.
Would you want to be the pilot office for these trials? scab offices must be the easy option. THINK LONG AND HARD, ME MY MINDS MADE UP.I WILL BE ON THE GATE EVEN IF I AM THE ONLY PICKET THERE!! Does that answer your question?

Blacked out windows? Are they ashamed of being the scum of the earth? Quite obviously.

Yes, they'll use that 'empty van' scam they used in London. "Oh look everyone! Another van full of loyal workers is heading into the delivery office." :wink:

They can't even do that at Sevenoaks coz they just shut our canteen as another money saving venture. Don't think I could eat it anyway, knowing how I'd got it would make it stick in my throat.


As for blacking out the windows that won't work we'll still know who the strike breakers are coz they're the ones who can't look us in the eye the following week.

I'll be on the line, but we had 40ish out of 130ish go in last time, and I think even more will go in next week. I think a couple might even come in on their rota week. Some of the strike breakers have been racking up the OT, a couple are doing nights and deliveries, the same as they did on strike. It's pretty sad really, people just don't want to think of the princables, they qoute to me that they will lose £60-£100 (SA's), but think nothing of going on the piss, of course a lot of the breakers are the worst whingers in the office and as management are trying to shove a 140 hours of cuts through, we'll see how they like complaining on they lonesome, because I'm buggered if I'd piss on 'em if they were on fire.
