What’s the point?
Do they think they’re getting money off the union? - you get F*** ALL
Even if your not in the union you still don’t go in if we strike!

They do have a choice whether in union are not.. not just you still don't go in if we strike.

Personally I think it would be better to show the people joining the union the benefits of being in the union so they stay long term even after the strike or if there is no strike at all.

I'm not sure how calling them scumbags really helps.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Anyone should be welcome even if it’s only for a short time, if nothing else it will show a bigger reflection of the feelings around the workforce.
The bigger question is why did they leave or not join before?

For the avoidance of doubt, and miss information elsewhere, just because you are not in the union, you can still strike.

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.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

There are probably people who only joined so they could vote NO
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next
