Best Union?

[njmcfc1894]

What type of work do you do mate? Different unions cover different sectors. For instance, if you work in the retail industry then Usdaw is probably the one for you. If you work in the public sector then UNISON would be best. Go on the TUC website (tuc.org.uk) and you can probably get advice on there.

PCS for public sector,other roll over and die as soon as they see a government official

They moan like fuck to get rises and when the firm say we can't do it the unions bring the firm to a standstill, risking the company as a whole. Eventually the firm crack and give them the rises, six months down the line there are redundancies as the firm is now struggling. Well done the union.
Who loses their jobs? Not the fucking union leaders that's for sure.

Yeah, that is exactly what happens every single time a union negotiates for a pay rise.

Strikes purely over pay are very rare these days and its about 30 years since a union leader called a strike. Over anything.

Err.... tube and train drivers, immigration staff , airport workers.
Conveniently timed to cause mass disruption to the biggest event in this country for years.
And yes the bus drivers of London got their £550 bonus.
I hope Boris fires the fucking lot after the closing ceremony.

Wont happen mate because our Union the RMT is well organised, by the way was there a strike? NO, so calm down sir.<br /><br />-- Thu Aug 02, 2012 12:15 pm --<br /><br />

join a union you know it makes sense.

assuming you are a puppet.

Or dont and let managment walk and shit all over you..

Management are there because they are the brains of the operation.

Ha ha not on the railway. I take it your a manager or self employed? Thought so.

Come on mate if the workers had half a brain they would take a management post rather than rely on some commie to fight their corner.

`bully tactics` whats all that about? Just after a fair days pay for a fair days work. Not like the bankers and rich boys in the city.

I think some people's impression of how a trade union operates is based on an article they read in a copy of The Spectator magazine, around about 1974.

Bawahahahah 'fair days pay for a fair days work' lol...bus drivers (all 28,000 of them) received an 'olympic bonus' of the best part of £600 regardless of where their bus route was... the tube drivers (who are already on best part of £50k a year) got a minimum of a £1000 'bonus'. By all means go ahead and justfiy why they 'deserved' it in your book, I'm all ears.<br /><br />-- Thu Aug 02, 2012 1:25 pm --<br /><br />

I know, still it's better than them who think without the unions we'd be sending kids back up chimneys.
