Re: Idiot on news
No, he was not being an idiot he was talking about agency staff doing nothing, but getting paid. They are part of the strike breaking team brought in by the Royal Mail. The Van Driver was on our side talking about how much money Royal Mail are wasting by employing strike breaking temps, paying them and not using them. Meanwhile docking strikers pay in full.
Thats how I read (or watched it) anyway.

I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.

Re: Idiot on news
Yes, I saw the interview, he was saying that RM were wasting millions and that his office had about 20 agency drivers sitting about doing nothing. He said it was complete madness.IPS wrote:No, he was not being an idiot he was talking about agency staff doing nothing, but getting paid.
