Back the union, don't back the union, you just cant win

Post by gimba »

So when we were going through the strikes, everyone was called scum, scab etc for not backing the union
Now people want to vote yes AND BACK THE UNION, suddenly people are shouting NO!, DONT back the union
FFS make up your mind, are we backing them or not

2 difrent things in my eyes .
Backing the union during the strikes yes.
I never once called anybody a sc#b or any other nasty words and I stood on the line every day we where on strike .

Sorry I can't back the union on RM's and cwu agreement because they are selling out our t&c's.

It easy really not difficult to understand .
Still voting NO

Too right, for me the final nail in the coffin/straw that broke the camels back is the longer hours in winter combined with the enforced flex, as far as I'm aware from what people say on here that's about all they can't bring in by EA without a yes vote

They're already well and truly f****d in my DO.

I wonder if some of the current horrendous revisions will be reversed,.our shitty revision was 18 month ago and was reversed after a couple of months with many walks having 5 weeks backlog. We are supposed to be having another one soon but apparently it'll just be that the lapsing will be part of our duty

Has any DO ever had a day when they've 100% cleared over the last year?

Wouldn't put it past RM to just make the COM re-implement that same revision
