Unite protest outside City Academy Construction Site

[ell]

So he is blacklisted from jumping on car bonnets for a while then

 

[mat]

The thing is mat we have no idea what has gone on. We have pictures and some word of mouth. Is there an actual write up somewhere, be nice to know

The only reports I've got are from the blacklisting group which will of course have one slant on them. CCTV i assume would be in the polices hands if charges are being made. Only left wing papers highlighting it.

left wing is the way forward, or society will shaft you

Once again the Bluemoon jury have hung, drawn and quartered some innocent bloke because he 'jumped on somebodys bonnet' if anyone bothered to find out the truth which is in Mat's post they may change their mind about the fella deserving everything he got!

As for the protest while stupid to do it spanning a main road it would normally draw peoples attention to the plight being suffered by many people up and down the country due to illegal blacklisting.

If he jumped on the bonnet of a moving car then I would say he deserved all he got, however if he was run over then its not his fault

I grew up in Clayton and as a kid me mam always told me not to play or piss about on main roads. The main road she was on about was Ashton new road. Now to me because of the way i was brought up Unite trying to block of Ashton new road is completely barking mad. To come up with idea as daft as that is just nuts and someone was always going to get hurt one way or another.

I hope it was no one here that did this.

64 year old Unite member and leading blacklist campaigner George Tapp is in Manchester Royal Infirmary hospital tonight with 2 broken legs and a fractured knee cap after a car drove through a crowd of protesters at full speed outside Manchester City FC.

George was at the Blacklist Support Group AGM and alongside Steve Acheson negotiated a blacklist ban at Salford Council last month.

2 other blacklisted workers protesting against blacklisting firm Bam were also hit by the deliberate hit and run but only suffered minor injuries.

I know people like to embellish their stories to emphasise a point but official reports say the guy has a broken leg. Quite why someone would exaggerate that fact to say he has two broken legs is quite comical really

Police are investigating after a man suffered a broken leg following a protest in north Manchester.

At around 6pm on Wednesday 13 May 2013, police were called to reports of a group of protesters stood across Ashton New Road, opposite BAM Construction site, blocking traffic travelling in both directions.

On arrival, police discovered there had been a collision between a blue Ford Ka and 64-year-old man.

He was taken to hospital and treated.

Chief Superintendent Russ Jackson from North Manchester division said: “From what we can see from CCTV, protesters were blocking Ashton New Road, preventing motorists from going any further.

“A number of people stood in front of the Ford Ka and climbed upon the bonnet before it moved forward. The car then travelled a short distance at a slow speed before it stopped and one of the men fell off. The car reversed and drove off.

I stand by my original statement then. You will get fucked if you climb on the bonnet of a car, how stupid

Fuck Unions, I was laid off by Network rail. They did not give a fuck. When contacted about my appeal they did'nt turn up for. The only answer I got was "we forgot". Not even a sorry. Union leaders are like MP's in it for what they can get. Plus I hope the old man was hurt & charged with criminal damage. If it had been a football match he would have been arrested & banned.

I understand your frustration , mate.
That is unacceptable behaviour from your Union, but let's be careful about generalising too much from one case.

no doubt there are union hacks who are lazy and on the take, but try to imagine how the workers in this country (or any other ) would have done without the unions

TBH
we have most of what we have because of them

leave it to the market and you'll be thrown out of work as the company moves operations to unregulated countries in the developing worl with no H&S culture at all.....

cue massive the Bhopal gas emissions (1980's)
South american miners lost in landslides (1990's)

Cue
Bangladeshi textile mill building collapse last week

Welcome to the Past......

Like Joni Mitchell said,

you don't know what you'vr got 'til it's gone...

Speaking from 'Merica, I can say Unions were necessary in the past. Unfortunately they became as corrupt as the govt they were protecting workers from. Not sure about your laws, but, now there are so many laws protecting employees unions are not necessary.

Oh look the dumbest thing i've read all day. Where were these laws protecting workers when that fertilizer plant blew up a few weeks ago? Why not compare pay in the trades in Texas to places unions still have some say?Seems like iron workers are making less than half in Dallas than they are in Chicago. Unions especially in America are as necessary now as they ever were and I'm not sure why you're even speaking on a situation 5000 miles away just so you can put down organised labor in America.

He doesn't have to put down organized labor they're doing a good enough job making themselves look like cunts.

What on earth possessed UNITE to block of a major main road during Rush hour. Then to attack the cars of innocent people who just want to go home after a hard days work. Then to go of and bloody lie and claim there was a hit and run instead of owning up to being the utter cunts that they are.

EDIT: I'm actually really fucking annoyed now the poor bastard driving his car could of had his life ruined by these lying bastards. He could of lost his license and gone to prison for the hit and run. He could of also lost his job and his home if he had a mortgage all because of these lying two faced sons of bitches.
