overtime...

[thecompletepackage]

Well, I can't afford to take part in an overtime ban on a 25 hour contract, so I won't be..............

So when we are on strike you will cross the picket line because you can't afford to work without overtime, when we are privatised there will be no overtime any way so maybe you need to find a full time job then?

Yes I would like a full-time position at RM and have been asking for one for the last four years. And thanks for the support, this is why I don't give a flying f**k about 'supporting' fellow workers when I get shafted by colleagues, RM & CWU week-in week-out.

And as you say when we ARE privatised there'll be no more overtime, so I might as well cross a picket line and earn as much cash as I can before the inevitable.

My family comes first, not my work collegues who don't care about me.

Thanks for the violins......proves the point of why I should give a sh#t about losing pay for the good of my fellow colleagues. Show me the money.

The 'i'm alright, Jack' mentality. Sure you don't work at my office

[thecompletepackage]

Never used to be like that (I'm alright jack) but having seen what 'deals' go on with favourites in the office, and how sh#t part timers are treated, I now look after number one.

[spoodoo]

We all get treated like s h it

tCP I no were ur coming from mate but were all in the same boat and ok thers a few comments u don't like but people have different opinions on here

[TrueBlueTerrier]

Indeed - although I wish everyone would strike when called as the more solid a strike is the easier it is to get the message across.

However, I would not condemn those who cross picket lines as long as they do it out of conviction, and have the courage to do so openly. Indeed I will even try to engage strike breakers after the dispute to see if I can change their mind, or at least understand why they did what they did, which causes friction in my office as a lot of senior posties won't talk to people who broke a strike in the 80s, even though they have supported every strike since.

However those who sneak in the back of vans, or work in another office whilst claiming they were striking, well they are beyond redemption and are to be pitied.

Answer to the senior posities won't talk to people who broke a strike in the 80s my god I would tell them were to f@@@ go arse holes

[interesting]

At our office a lot less people do overtime than in years gone by
We have a couple of blokes that will do anything
But quite a few have lost intrest

[clashcityrocker]

Later starts have made overtime less possible.
Longer delivery spans have made overtime less possible.

From a trade unionist point of view, in a time of high unemployment, which is more preferable:
Fully staffing an office or protecting the docket of a few?
