glen quagmire said:I am sure as you know my stance on this i am anti-union. I have got in the position i have today, not because i have "leeched' of the union to get my pay and conditions. I worked my balls off, then converted said monies into knowledge, by doing courses and going back to education while i still worked and had a family. So me, myself and i got my pay and condituons, not the tool badgering me and feeding me bullshit for my 'dues'.
So while all you give your dosh to the unions, thinking you have a job for life if anything happens, then good on you. I shall continue to politely turn down the RMT rep, that badgers my lads from time to time also..
And all the credit to you Glen. But there are those out there that don't have the wherewithall to do what you've done. And it's those people that Unions can help.
However, from personal experience, I won't be going anywhere near organised Union affiliation ever again.
A lot of money from subs goes into the pockets of so-called elected officials and once a power base is established, they are very hard to shift.
It's rife and I have no truck with it.
