The cwu aren't fit for purpose anymore. don't know why people still pay into it. the reps don't want to rock the boat as it might affect their cushy wee numbers.

How do they have a cushy number when they aren’t getting paid for having everyone moan at them and about them?

Was my response too complicated? What’s cushy about a position where everyone moans and criticises you and yet you are not paid any extra? I can’t see where the cushy bit is.

All union reps are legally entitled to paid “release/facilities time” each week to undertake union work. Some poor sod has to cover their duty (or part thereof) when the union rep is engaged on union business! In my book the reps are paid.

Sounds like the poster above is saying "cushy" in terms of doing union work instead of RM work.
They might think RM work is harder.
Personally I wouldn't be a rep as too much crap gets levelled at them.
Some of it justified, some not in my experience.
