all strike breakers should not be allowed a vote.

Post by dt123 »

When you take part in any vote you do so expecting to accept the majority decision. If the vote would of returned a no then I would be expected to respect that view. If I refused to accept that view and went on strike then I would be breaking the law by taking unlawful industrial action. The same respect should be given by the no voters. Anyone who strike breakers and takes the 300 pound blood money should have their right to vote removed, if you are not going to accept the result then why should you be allowed to have your say.

What should happen to the strike breakers is that they should be given the deal as it stands now and not the deal who the people with balls to go on strike get

I voted yes to IA, but this £300 thing, correct me if im wrong , is given if the DO as a unit does not take IA. Surely its not given to individuals who cross the picket line is it?

What should happen is the more "enlightened" union members should by force of their strong arguments convince the less enlightened of the error of their ways.
"strike breakers" this and "strike breakers" that is merely divisive and ultimately self-defeating.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

so a question for you:

in your opinion should strike breakers be kicked out of the union then?

Due to listening to her people (obviously not the ones we need protection from) Moya has changed her mind and it is still apparently being offered on an individual basis but as part of a pay deal that has been rejected.
So the £300 doesn't exist but Moya is offering it to individuals who cross the picket line.

Tell you what narks me...We have a scab who crossed the line last time. Then got into bad trouble and then joined the union to help him out. In the words of Roy Hodson " its a disgrace" shouldn't be allowed :-(
