Let down !

Post by John_McC »

Hi all back in from picket duty today only to find that 3 (I thought close) friends have crossed the lines and gone in. What pi$$'s me off not one of them thought to tell me or even chat about it. As to there reasons same old thing money which I just don't see, one of them job shares with some one who is on long term sick and as she only works 3 days a week could of worked one other day to pay for the strike day. One of the others is just a lapdog to her and although he's on about 20hr SA a week and lives at home with his mother still can not AFFORD to strike ! As to the third shes just got no need for the money.
I now have to work with these 3 tomorrow and just don't think I can with out saying something to them, just wish before going in they'd have talked to me, I'm more angry now than I would of been if they'd just talked. Any way better dig out the MP3 player and put some loud music on to get me through Friday
:so there
Together we stand and united we won (well sort of !)

Let's hope that's the line the CWU take, and kick the scum out.
