Spanish practices
Is it right for Crozier to talk about Spanish practices? Isn't that being prejudiced? Some Spanish people might take offense at that remark.

Re: Spanish practices
Apparently a Radio station in barcelona rang the CWU and complained and there is, apparently, an official complaint from the Spanish Embassy.buzzer wrote:Is it right for Crozier to talk about Spanish practices? Isn't that being prejudiced? Some Spanish people might take offense at that remark.

Here's one Spaniard whose practices are worth looking at:
"It is we the workers who built these palaces and cities here in Spain and in America and everywhere. We, the workers, can build others to take their place. And better ones! We are not in the least afraid of ruins. We are going to inherit the earth; there is not the slightest doubt about that. The bourgeoisie might blast and ruin its own world before it leaves the stage of history. We carry a new world here, in our hearts. That world is growing this minute."
Buenavetura Durruti. CNT/FAI
You wouldn't try to cross his picket line:

The Industrial Workers of the World. The union whose members never scab!
"The working class and the employing class have nothing in common."

While in Madrid about ten years ago the local postman took an unusual form of I/A. Their complaint was at the lack of air conditioning in their office during a heatwave. The I/A that they took was to take all the sorting fittings out onto the street, they then stripped naked and started sorting the mail.

Chin up!
Remember, the way you do you job will affect colleagues for years to come - if you cut corners to do it quick, they will be expected to as well....and then RM will add extra work to fill the gaps.
