Apprentice Union?

[glen quagmire]

Got my name on my shirt? You fucking cock. If the country was full of dicks like you, fuck all would get done. You would be too busy striking, or voting about striking. No wonder our industry is dead.

Genuine question for our union rep guys (or former ones). If I have a complaint and I take to my rep does he/she get to decide if my employers have a case to answer or does he/she have to push it to someone else to decide?

I went to Union school back in the 80's and the clear direction back then was to always remember that if you fight the corner for someone with a 'weak' case then it will only undermine your credibility for any 'stronger' cases that may follow.

That wasn't to say that they shouldn't have Union representation, more that they should be advised appropriately and made aware of the realistic expectations of their grievance.

I would also suggest that Union policy on this will differ according to the industry, and I doubt such sound advice is adhered to by all.

It has, pal. It wasn't that long ago, there were mountains of rubbish in the streets and the miners were all striking because of an utter utter ****, who had one of the worst comb overs in history that was scargill. Look where it got the miners...<br /><br />-- Wed May 30, 2012 6:37 pm --<br /><br />
