Not very wise to put subs up, considering the absolutely dire job the CWU is doing. Smacks of taking the piss, it does. :evil/mad

3% last year after a 0% pay rise and 3% this year after a 2% rise for some and a pay cut for most certainly won't do much for recruitment but the union has no choice...they're skint.....they blew £28,0000,000 last year on....something and it's time to shake the tin a little harder.
Pies don't come cheap Harry. :whistle

Very true, fishtank.
Why is every facet of life in this country such an utter shambles? I mean, why can't anybody seem to understand basic economics?
Even Mr.Micawber understood basic economics, in the end.

Are you sure? I'm 35hrs PT, and I pay FT subs ( only noticed when I checked my pay slip just now and saw "CWU Subscriptions £3.01" ) :arrrghhh
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Perhaps it's because you're over 30 hours or something?

Don't seem to matter with my OT - basic till I hit 40hrs ( and it gets cut from my SA OT first )
