Called a Scab

Post by Theghost »

Today I was called a Scab while waiting for my partner.

I looked and it was a postie driving past who had returned from his holiday abroad.

Not sure he knew the strike was called off.

Worse thing is the last strikes we had this tosser crossed the line and worked,I cant stand him and he had the f***ing cheek to shout Scab to me,I want to throttle him.

Rant over,ARggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Report him to the manager.
Bollox to him, if the shoe was on the other foot, no doubt he would grass you up.
And tbh management will probably come down hard on anyone who calls people a scab.

I did think of doing that,But I don't want to drop to this idiots level,He has been pretty much only spoken to by fellow workers when they need to speak to him,He made the divide for himself by coming in to work,But nobody ever shouted Scab to him,Why the hell should he think its good or clever to shout it to me? Pure tosswork

Got it in one.
Pissed off he called me a Scab when I would never ever be one,But also because that is what he is and always will be,He's made no secret he's coming in should we go on strike in the near future,Sod it im reporting him,Its winding me up more and more,I know he would report anyone else.

Perhaps he was being "funny".
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I'm not being funny but what does it matter? I couldn't care less what people at work say, it all goes in one ear and out the other. Just relax and ignore it.

I would report him, dont ignore as it could be seen as a sign of weakness.
