If that's who I think it is, he's not really a Manc lad. He just thinks he is because he likes Man U. He is a fat knacker though.
The Industrial Workers of the World. The union whose members never scab!

Hey what a good idea! I`m on strike, i`ll go in to work for no pay today!
WHAT A GREAT IDEA!
what patronising drivel !, the best put down used by someone on here ,was the bit about looking in his I -spy & Observer books he'd kept from when he was a kid , tried googling and I still can't identify what a pompous misguided bigotted prat you are . Please send me information as discovering a new species would be my way to fame and fortune instead of fighting off/standing up to RM's board/senior mgt and losing money on picket lines etc.
I think there has got to be a union debate after we win - about the position of strike breakers who are union members.
As far as I am concerned their actions are incompatible with holding union membership as there was a democratic national vote on this issue. They are acting against the whole concept of trade unionism and they are doing it not out of any principle but mainly because of personal financial greed or arse licking to become a manager or get easier duties. They are the lowest of the low in terms of morality.
I know there is an argument that better to have them in than out as we have some control over them - well I just don't agree with that line and it would be interesting to see what others think.
Being a union member is just about being protected - it;s about defending the union and the principles it stands for and for standing with your colleagues particularly when there has been a democratic national vote.

I agree. How come they can kick you out quick enough for being a member of the BNP. strike breakers are no better.

Guys - your union is letting you all down big time and as the columnist says

I totally agree with him and am transferring my business elsewhere – and you will be aware of many customers doing the same!
Your union is trying to stop essential changes to automation which will help stop the rot - to RM - of business going elsewhere; competitors already have such equipment. Strikes will most certainly NOT stop job losses, it will only increase the likelihood that they WILL happen. If the union was not playing it’s own games, and thus ignoring your best interests, they should be actively co-operating with RM to ensure all possible efficiencies; the country can see this – why can’t you and your ‘leaders’?
They appear not to have any sort of plan – everyone, especially customers, would be more impressed if you worked for no money on ‘strike’ days. It would actually show that you understand the issues and the implications on your own jobs of striking.
RM has 'lost' tens of thousands of managers in the last few years, all of whom left with good voluntary redundancy or early retirement packages - RM has never made anyone compulsorily redundant so job issues will only become an issue if the business is not turned around urgently; further strikes will help ensure that compulsory redundancies become inevitable.
It is unbelievable that the majority of union members cannot see this; there will always be a minority of trouble makers but they should be ignored in this situation.
You may not like the sound of this but it is the real world - it is high time you saw that and faced the reality!
You are only hurting yourselves and colleagues by striking.
Guys? .............. As soon as I saw you address us as "guys", I knew you were a prawn, I read the rest of your post, and before falling asleep, I patted
myself on the back. I were right.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been. My BFF Clash The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
