Has anybody received a warning for social media comments regarding strike breakers?

Post by POSTPERSON50 »

Hearing anecdotal evidence of members of staff being dismissed for social media comments regarding staff who cross picket lines, but has anyone received just a warning in similar instances?

Or do you know of anyone who has at your unit?

Name calling is pathetic. Ignore strike breakers, blank them, but name calling? In todays woke climate it could cost you your job.
And remember, it’s your picket line. Not mine.

Got 1 at ours and he gets ignored and nobody speaks to him, he was worked near me and I just completely blanked him invisible to me, wouldn't resort to name calling but he knows what he is.

I chose to cross it. I stand by it. I’ll cross the next one as well.
I’m not looking for any reaction. Name calling is something kids do but if someone was to overstep the mark with me I would have no problem in reporting them.
I don’t go to work for a popularity contest. I go for money and because the job is suitable for me.

Knows what he is? Does he care? Does he feel shame? I doubt it. I certainly don’t. Don’t presume this ‘invisible’ man is feeling down. He probably doesn’t give a damn.

Why would I get anyone sacked?
The rules on this forum are clear regarding that ‘word.’
If people break the rules, well, it’s them who need to face the consequences.

Not condoning name calling but how can someone get sacked from name-calling on here. We are all anonymous aren't we? Or are Rm gonna track the IP addresses, goodluck with that. Can always blame a neighbor using the wifi :chuckle
