CALLING ALL BLUE SHIRTS!

Post by SeriousSam »

This whole palavour has become rediculous. Ive spent hours picketting in the freezing cold FOR FREE all for nothing cos Billy Hayes wants to please the Government (he should be shipped 1st class to guantanamo bay for that). The cheek of rallying us all to take free time off work only to do this and screw us all over. All to please Gordon Brown and his greedy MPs.

This is B/S. and whilst ive been in the B/S some Temp worker has stole about 1000 pounds from my wage.
WE ARE UNAPPRECIATED AND TAKEN FOR A RIDE CONSTANTLY BUY THE EXECS

How can we trust our rep and workers union when they screw us over for christmas?

there all we have but theyve screwed us over for good rep with the government. how is this justified? If i was in Billy Hayes shoes i would have held out over christmas, maybe RM would have taken us seriously if we'd have been striking until january AND THEN had negotiations

QUESTION: While the rank and file workers lost days pay every time we went out on strike were the union reps that are paid by the union losing money as well??

ANSWER: NO, NO they weren't but every time we lost pay should these guys have been donating there days pay to the cause strike fund


could somebody please clarigy if DIV.REPs upwards are paid by the union
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

There is another alternative, surrender. Surrender your right to be treated decently and fairly in your workplace. Surrender your right to a fair and manageable workload. Surrender your right to the full-time job that RM offered you, and now want to take away.

Me, I'm still annoyed that we gave that creep Higson the period of calm we offered three months ago, and which he flatly refused to entertain then, and now with xmas almost on top of us, he practically begged for. But, I'll hang in there, and if this another lying tactic on RM's part, I'll be out on strike again. If I was to entertain the surrender alternative, I just might as well ring in tomorrow morning and tell my idiot DIM that I've resigned and won't be coming back, because then I will truly have a job just not worth all the stress and hassle that it will almost certainly bring.
