Before you start hurling abuse at me I AM NOT A SCAB okay.Have been on each picket so far and tommorows and as many as CWU dictate.My point is in our office of about fifty we have a scab but i spotted a couple of people having a good old chin wag with him, as it was so quiet. As if nothing had happened. These couple of people have never been on picket duty.I told my militant mate and i said i refuse to talk to them who chat with a scab. Am i being juvenile in my actions ?
IMHO opinion this is a matter of conscience. If you feel you don't want to talk to the strike breakers mates you have very right to do that. Just like the blokes who talk to the strike breakers have the same right.
However, I don't think I could talk to a scab in anything less than an official capacity. strike breakers mates I'd have to think about it but they may have to show solidarity by appearing on the picket.

wont speak to strike breakers myself unless it's work related and unavoidable. if other people want to talk to them thats their problem. you could soon have an office where no one is speaking to any one. a divided office is not good
havent talked to the strike breakers since the first strike , what makes me laugh is a couple of them have threatened to take me into the screws office, HOW SAD, WHEN IT COMES TO THE DAY WHEN IM TOLD WHO I MUST TALK TO ILL STICK MY HEAD IN THE OVEN OH I FORGOT ITS ELECTRIC
A few interesting answers there.Thank you But the winner so far is IWW as i to don't bother with them who come in an hour early I know i am an oldie on here but i don't ever remember a coal miner or British Leyland worker going in a hour early " Aww Taff (spoken in welsh accent!!) bring the lift to this level, i want to knock out a couple of ton of coal before the rest of them turn up on time.
There's no f***ing way I'm talking to strike breakers. They are just parasites living off the backs of decent workers who fought for the terms and conditions these b***ards take for granted. I'm not going to go out of my way to be spiteful to them, but there aint no way I'm hugging one.
