Unions

[jimharri]

Useless mostly, essentially exist to give workers a hugely inflated wage combined with the student lifestyle. Train ones are the worst - they'd cheerfully have more staff than passengers on the rail network.

Calling @mat!

Anyone ever crossed a picket line?

Me.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Always been quite anti unions but I saw the power of workers sticking together during this pandemic when they tried to stiff us with our pay recently

Together, we are all individuals....

Been proved that the unions were wrong. Schools could open with a little common sense.

The schools didnt want to open, I dont live in england but sounds like they were right.

How were they proved wrong, doesn't england have a big problem with covid compared to other countries.

The union bloke at our place got in on a platform of sticking it to the boss.

Now he's his best mate and does all the easy jobs.

He once called a meeting, said we should all just do our hours, no coming in a bit early to help out, so we all did. Except him and the other union bloke who, when questioned, said they had things to do in the afternoon...

I called them both cunts and walked off. One tried to say sorry but he's dirty Leeds so he got called a **** again.

A waste of fucking space. Not needed in today's work place. Utter cunts.


Oh...just remembered, a while ago, early 80's, I worked for my old man's welding company. We had to go to a steel works in the Midlands to collect some rsj they hadn't sent on time. We turned up 20 minutes before lunch. Could have loaded the 3 rsj's we needed and gone in 10 minutes. Oh no...not according to the bloke we met. After lunch. An hour and 20 minutes later.

We sat and waited. They all appeared. One to use the over head crane. One to use the chains. One to make sure no one walked near. One to undo the chains. One to do the paperwork.

We weren't allowed to go near until they had all finished.

It would have taken one person to load it but unions demanded otherwise.

Utter cunts.

I would agree, but that's a couple of pricks. That's like reading about Dr Shipman and saying you're finished with medical science.

Or you see a car crash and say all cars are a one way ticket to the grave. I agree too many pricks running unions, but that's because the right guys dont bother.

Me.

He didn't mean like that.

It has, but nothing to do with schools/ kids.

Correct. Teachers (backed by unions) just fancy 6 months instead of the normal 6 week holiday this summer.

Fuck me you're showing your age. I bet you and your family have benefitted enormously from the advances won. Now you forget and dorf your cap like a fucking drone. I'd rather be a link than a pawn. How you enjoying thst control you took back? Just wait to see the eroding of rights and protections. I will ge right here to call you and every other **** deluded into buying your masters pish.

I am 52 and may be a ****.
But please don't compare me to that fucking drone.

Ok old and a **** fair play, the drone I accept as beyond the pale. I've let everybody down.
