Ever worked for a company that went from state to private? I have. Not brilliant.

i for one will not be striking im still tryign to come to terms with 20£ a week loss in d2d money let alone any more unpaid days striking again

Well I know the Mangers Union is not as "militant" as the CWU but calling them a broken union is taking things a bit far.

Cue "managers" in Teebs post :Very Happy

I think you should still support the Union at a local level as your rep can help you where you need it most, in your own office. Most reps i know work really hard and often into there own time.

The operative word is 'every local rep you know'. The only one I know is a man in place because no one else will do the job. Nice but very very ineffective; at least for the majority of the staff except for the odd small issues with management.

No more strikes, ever, from me! There will be no need for it anyway.
