Unionised workforce...

Post by fmrPOSTIE »

Does anybody know (perhaps within the CWU?) what percentage of the workforce is in the union? Up to date figures aswell?

Thats a pretty good percentage. The union must still be hapy with that.

Yes! As there are many fixed term short contracts nationally who usually don't become members for obvious reasons.
Also many smaller P/T's, some F/T's don't join.
So in that respect it is a very good ratio.
Always be one step ahead, play their game but be wiser. Revenge is sweet.

Fits in well with the so-called 75/25 F/T to P/T breakdown :hmmmm
