John Redwood MP
Just heard a brief interview with John Redwood MP on news 24, the bloke spoke more sense about RM in 5 mins than i have heard from any MP during this dispute, he really did criticize RM management even said that the goverment should replace them, how bad middle management are, how much they pay themselfs for a s**t job, the workers which is us should get more reward for the job we do, and more was said i was so shocked could,nt take it all in really!. It was nice to hear what we know put across so well on tv for a change fair play don,t know if i could vote for i tory thou! just one other thing had one scab only in our D/O walking round yesterday shouting he was going out on the piss this weekend as he aint lost any money going on strike! we,re not allowed to say anything to him as he said he,ll go in the office cheers c~*t.

Ignore the prick, he may be crowing now but a few months down the line he will be very sad and desperate for a kind word. Then is the time to remember his behaviour. Remember you have to communicate to do they job but just blank him on everything else.
There are 3 strike breakers in our office of 9, they are very lonely people, and will continue to be so until they have had enough and leave. :dance

Most of ours group together like sheep, I try not to speak to them, what goes around comes around, they'll want help when work is piled on to them, or when the OT stops, you then just say 'kiss my ass' and smile.

If your screws conduct code any of you guys for anything at all, obviously offer all the support you can - but if the scab does the same & does not get coded, demand he applies equal treatment ( that after all is how the rules say strike breakers should be treated, innit? ) And as said above, send the f****r to Coventry :dance
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

This is what happens when a dispute is founded on genuine grievances. Redwood will of course be capitalising on it to further Tory interests, but he couldn't do that if he didn't actually think we were right.
