DO YOU RECOGNISE ROYAL MAIL IN THIS

[TrueBlueTerrier]

I was checking blogs I like to read and followed a few links and found this does it remind anyone of a certain national orgnisation:

Seven Sophisticated Unionbuster Techniques

* Supervisors as Frontline Soldiers: Supervisors, who themselves have no legally protected right to be represented by a union, are manipulated into delivering anti-union letters, speeches, and informal chats prepared by unionbusters, essentially doing the dirty work of the unionbusters and management.
* One-on-One Meetings: During organizing drives, 78 percent of workers are forced to attend closed-door or isolated meetings with supervisors.5 These aren’t friendly impromptu chats, but well-planned meetings to decipher employees’ feelings about the union and persuade them against the union.
* Captive Audience Meetings: So-called ‘captive audience’ meetings are held for employees during work hours to disseminate propaganda against union representation and to attempt to discredit the union. Employees are almost always required to attend, but union organizers may be intentionally disinvited. Often, the meetings are rigged so that workers who are already against the union are assigned to ask questions to sow misinformation.
* Delay: Unionbusters often attempt to delay union representation elections by legal maneuvers so they have more time to implement other tactics needed to increase tension, dissension and the employer’s chance of winning the election.
* Divide & Conquer: The unionbuster creates opportunities and crafts persuasive messages to make employees feel that there is a tense division among staff concerning the union election. They may go so far as to pit one group of employees against each other, based on race or ethnicity.
* Letters, letters, letters: A unionbuster’s specialty is hammering out materials—be it cartoons, leaflets or management correspondence—to make the case against the union. 92 percent of companies involved in organizing drives mail anti-union materials to employees’ homes.
* Love offerings: In order to convince employees that they don't need a union, unionbusters may advise clients to provide indirect bribes, like unexpected increases in wages or benefits or ‘feel good’ measures like free food and lottery tickets.

even moderate USDAW reps hated Leighton as he was so american in his ideas ,word was ASDA were glad to be shut of him ,not hard to guess who tried them out ? ,but he was doing precisely what Stephen Byers appointed him for , part of His Toninesses Public Sector " Reforms "; some in the dispute obviously and the CWU fell for them .

I believe the Leighton DUM meetings were straight out of Nuremborg , he didn't waste time trying to play staff up against the union either . :lfo :lfo


worst managers are the road to Damascus ex reps and we've got our very own can't use a spellchecker for our entertainment -a cross between Al Murray & Alf Garnett on here, RM use them to "spread the gospel"

Abraham Lincoln:

The strongest bond of human sympathy outside the family relation should be one uniting working people of all nations and tongues and kindreds.

(He was a wise man was old Abe)

Not topic related as it says it all but thought you might like to read this about "Wise old Abe. he said, "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. Spoken like a very wise politician me thinks. LOL.

He was a very pragmatic man. Strange thing is you can even get decent quotes from people like Hitler and Stalin.

Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.
Adolf Hitler

When we hang the capitalists they will sell us the rope we use.
Joseph Stalin

Off course I condemn both men and their beliefs but it does show you how people can use language to say or infer what they want, and damn the source.

Did I recognise Royal Mail in that? ........Just nearly choked on my rice krispies, the similarity was so uncanny.

Seems even the Tories recognise it.
Tim Loughton Tory member for East Worthing and Shoreham stated of RM

"I have never dealt with a more duplicitous,bullying,self-serving,incompetent,arrogant and out of touch body"
