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.
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

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.
