i get the best jobs

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

All Royal Mail do is strike.

If a member of staff strike they should be sacked.  If they were good enough they would be able to become management and then change the business themselves. FACT

 I've done loads of strikes me...also secondary stuff like the famed Grunwick.

 Can tend to get your card marked by employers mind....all a bit tame these days since the legendary miners strike of 84/85. Which was a defining moment for me...Britain would neve rbe the same again.

 If managers could manage, workers wouldn't need to strike.

Thatcher will be dead soon.

 Have we had the Thatcher state funeral debate? I can't remember if it was here as well as the real world, where I was discussing it?

[sonic youth]

if it had been discussed on here, i'd remember being angry about it.

[Gazza's Fat Mate]

Strikes are stuipd eg Rover say they are going to shut down a car plant so the unions call a strike so stuipd the company are closing the plant becuase they are losing money so the plan to save jobs is to lose the company even more money.

Striking should be banned and trade unions more strictly regulaed.

Thatcher could only dream of the type of support Scargill had. The tactics she used to break the miners were totally despicable and Roy Lynk RIP was absolutely duped.
Thatcher should go down in history as one of the biggest pieces of shit ever to have disgraced this country. 

[Reg Smeeton]

 Yeah, but it's a good laugh....you're probably going to lose your job anyway so why not gpo down with a bit of a fight...might get a bit more compo, and can develop ideas and skills ....part of the reason why employers don't want unions and activists, is that they want an acquiescent workforce.

 I decided if we all got a day off work, (paid) then go for it.

[Bogus Dave]

i think it was discussed somewhere on here once. £7 million it would cost wouldnt it/

I'm sure Thatcher would want the state to splash out public money on a funeral for her. How else would her beloved society mourn?

Most Unions these days are self interested shits of the highest order.  I thought the idea of a Union was to protect people who were being EXPLOITED and were not able to have their voice heard as one person.  These days it's simply about avoidance of work and moaning that some other job gets paid more than them.  I fucking loathe the bastards now (and yes, I've been the minnion and the boss).  If I really felt they were truly working for the greater good, I be fully behind the idea, but good old fashioned personal greed gets in the way.  I'm generally Socialist by nature, so Unions really really frustrate me.  People should be able to be rewarded or otherwise based on their own performance or otherwise, just so long as everyone has an equal opportunity.  I've witnessed Shop Stewards dobbing in other employees because they couldn't get what they wanted, so much for being the voice of the people.

In her own words "there's no such thing as society".
