i think someone should 'strike' sloth over the head with a big hammer
ferk off, if you was told that you would get a certain amount when you retire, then they cut it to 10% of that figure youd be pi$$ed.
i'd like to see you try baxter...

What happens if the company shuts down? Then you'll all get feck all.
lol 'unions' what a waste of time in the modern times.
Oh noes they are capping redundancy monies for over £30K salaried employees.... to be honest all they would have to give you is stat minimum anyway and send you on your way.... Any extra is a win.
Also as stinking scumbag union rep, shouldnt you be on the picket line 'supporting' those there who are doing what THEY BELIEVE IS RIGHT ?!?!?!?!
ps Unions = sheep ;)
Never joined one, never will as I have a brain.
ive never understood striking tbh, even more so in modern times.
im not happy with my job so i wont go in and that will make everything better when i do go back
if i was a gaffer id just sack all the 'strikers' lol
if i was a gaffer id just sack all the 'strikers' lol
ditto.
Un-satisfied enough to be a sheep and strike, means you are unstaisfied with your job and not 100% productive at it... Get rid and get new folks who WANT the work, in.
working for a government organisation is seriously dodgy these days.... the well has run dry...... and people are still considering voting labour again!!!!!!!!!! they have systematically stripped the assets from everywhere to spend on crazy public schemes & filling everywhere with 'workers' and given good rises, to appease the unions, and now its gone pop....
lol 'unions' what a waste of time in the modern times.
really? so where did current health and safety laws come from? and employee rights?

err no seen as its written into our contracts to get what we are currently on, and it affects all staff. if they change it it makes it easier to sack us (right in the middle of a ressesion)
Also as stinking scumbag union rep, shouldnt you be on the picket line 'supporting' those there who are doing what THEY BELIEVE IS RIGHT ?!?!?!?!
i was on the picket line sunshine, at 6am till 10. that was our official picket times.
ps Unions = sheep ;) non-unionised staff = lambs to the slaughter;)
Never joined one, never will as I have a brain. and according to other peoples opinion, your a faschist. (thats not my opinion im just quoting.).:thumb:

sorry dude, but the well isnt dry, its just the person at the top winding it is nigh on dead. we havent had a raise over the minimum for 7+ years. if you wanna save the economy take bankers bonuses or how bout the 13billion unclaimed taxes?

its illegal to sack strickers, or discriminate against them in any way. im not unsatisfied with my job jus with the massive cuts in the wrong areas.
Capitalist hunny ;) by whatever means nessecary :) if it means being a slimey socialist or a twuntbag facist its all good.
MODERN TIMES!!!! the unions had their day in the 70's and early 80's to get all this H&S + rights crap through, but now its all legal and there are lazy assed govt departments thinking up new ideas to justify their pitiful existence, Unions arent needed.
I got myself a lovely redundancy package while NOT being a union member thanks :)
my best example of how retarded the Unions are was we got offered a 4.5% pay rise, the unions wanted more.... they came round asking us to join up. I worked out that after union dues I'd be down money with the 'bigger' payrise lmao. FAIL go and try again.
You pubelick sector folks bitch when the tiems are good and private sectors get ace money and now you bitch because reality is kicking in... have a word.
Will you just fukk off!!
When will you realise nobody likes you?
No one cares that you are on strike.

unions are needed to protect workers from overzealous bosses and destructive jobcuts.

wrong its not kicking in its been like this for 20+ years. were doing our job whilst understaffed, and yetb they wanna cut us. do you remember the 80's? would you like another forgotten, and lost generation? dont think so.
oh and stoo, fukk of and die, you have a block button, use it you bellend.
sorry dude, but the well isnt dry, its just the person at the top winding it is nigh on dead. we havent had a raise over the minimum for 7+ years. if you wanna save the economy take bankers bonuses or how bout the 13billion unclaimed taxes?
PLEASE... the banks in the uk have for centuries paid its workers a low salary with a 'bonus' based on work rate & turnover. it was a creative accounting thing to keep the shareholders happy.
fact 1. the government has simply overspent massively.
fact 2. the government has allowed itself to get massive
fact 3. there has been some incredible incompetence from all areas.
fact 4. the whole country is getting screwed, in an attempt to balance the books.. and there is going to be a lot more industrial action to come before the election..
what so the 1illion pound bonus paid to the top banking bosses at hsbc was fair? i see your point but it isnt the lower paid guys that get it. i agree on points 1-4 tho. esp 4
Will you just fukk off!!

im sorry but who the **** are you?/\

hsbc did not go cap in hand to the government. they didn't borrow a penny.
& they turned a huge profit in the same period. they might be b4stards, but hsbc are actually very good at their job. so their bosses should have bonuses. the ones like RBS etc which are now government owned should be made to clean graffiti off canal bridges until their banks are back in the black
i apologize i meant rbs. my bad.
i want to encourage everyone on here to do something for me at the general election......
VOTE.
by actually choosing someone to vote for & actually bothering to walk to the polling station, or via post for people serving overseas, it doesn't matter to me who you vote for, but what really annoys me is the 65% of this country who can't be ar$ed to vote because all politicians are the same and their vote won't matter etc......
if some bnp get in, that is because people have voted for them, if the lib dems get in, so be it, just vote, and don't do like some people i know, and vote a certain way because the whole family have always voted, its your vote, so use it to your advantage..
agreed/\ i do think voting should be compulsorary (sp) like other countries.
like australia??? where you get fined for not voting
and where they have a very active right wing political system???
also true but the current pm is more left....

strikeing imo is pointless can they not work to rule or something like that
this usually works in most cases
i work for a goverment owned company who went on strike just before xmas lost four days pay and what did we get out of it
absoulute fcuk all union bunch of messers
needless to say i still wouldnt cross a picket line and i was stood on the line to support too
when I was still sending in tax returns, after 6 years of not being self employed, i turned up at the tax office on the deadline day to find all the tax officers on a picket line outside........
i rang the tax office & someone came out & i lobbed my return over the picket.

And they probably got paid more than the people on the picket for doing that lol

i could save the inland revenue billions, yes, billions a year by the simple practice of if the sum gets to within a fiver, that's good enough....
i always put my p60 info on my return & they always posted me a bill for 60 odd pence, so i would always post them a cheque for a quid, then they would send me several statements pointing out that i was 30 odd pence in credit!!!!!!!!!
trouble is that my 'fiver' policy would throw about 10000 people onto the jobs market.

Wait who was pro striking?

hmmm I'm not so sure you guys know the full story.
My mum works for inland revenue, and she never strikes, but the ILR/Government have taken the p1ss this time and gone too far, there are too many subtle changes which are actually screwing the employees over a barrel, so she wont be in work.
I'm sure many of the comments above are as a result of "political opinion" (and sloth abuse by the looks of it)
Quite glad I was in hospital today, got out of having to join the strike lol
Yes I'm in PCS, but I couldn't give a shoite about the pensions blurb. I'm more concerned about how the government is throwing away your tax dollars on outsourcing. Ah well what do I care, I'll be a Boeing employee soon so will be able to moan about lazy civil servants lol
I'm underpaid for what I do - the fact the MOD pay me a retention allowance is proof they're aware of that - but I like the perks and the work I do/places I go/people I work with. Plus I'm directly assisting people in the front line such as Stoo, not one of those pen pushing, overpaid, B-grade middle managers.
On the wage front, the pay scale is a joke. I've been at the bottom of the scale despite being in my role for about 4 years now. But they've tried to make up for it by pulling the scale up so in real terms I've had decent raises.

sounds like the tax people are beginning to feel like the rest of us now .....
all that bullsh!t about they wont tell you their first name so you have to call them mr or ms (surname) and how they make you feel like a convict cos your calculator didn't round it up exactly like theirs......
its a sodding recession, there is less money about, of course the tax people are going to suffer

a person making 30k a year should have more then enough to put a bit aside every month to save for after redundacy/retirment i stuggle by running a flat on 9000 a year and i dont moan about not getting paid this or that.

it is your own silly idea to stand on the ''picket line''. in my honest opinion it is a waste of time they will say either you can have the pay and take it somewhere else or you are not getting it full stop
ps Unions = sheep ;) non-unionised staff = lambs to the slaughter;)
what did people do befour unions FIND A NEW JOB not really to the slauter is it
Never joined one, never will as I have a brain. and according to other peoples opinion, your a faschist. (thats not my opinion im just quoting.)
i dont understand how the above comment can make him faschist in any way he was expressing his feelings and i do agree with it. unions seem to have done more to hinder (by the sounds of it. i havnt done all the research and dont want to but thats the way it sounds) work then help workers witch i beleave is what they was set up to do (EVERYTHING I HAVE JUST SAID IS A REFLECTION OF MY OWNPION AND NOT OF THE PEOPLE ROUND ME)

H&S rules are simply an invention by employers to stop the employees suing them. Such is the modern motive to sue anything that moves - look at all those silly adverts on TV for people who have accidents at work from being bellends etc.

i suppose you are right but it is all going a bit to far dont you think you will soon have to sign summut to go for a s*it in case there is bleach on the bowl and you get it on you bellend or summut
p.s H&S was made to protect the employer not employee then. so when a buisness trys to palm you off with it is for you own good the we do this its a load of Boll*cks
Yup :) They say its to "protect the employee" but its just to stop them from suing the employer if they fcuk something up - like coming into work and slipping on a wet floor resulting in a highly damaged fringe lol
First thing investigators will ask to see if a workplace accident occurs is the health & safety processes.
is there only me in the world any more thats thinks in the way if you hurt your self its your own silly fault. should be more cerfull next time. i bet the h+s officer would of had a field day at my store the other day then when i was hammering into slate with a pry bar without goggles lmao oh well
hse only come out when something has gone wrong.... they try to make out that they are good at prevention, but they just come out to hit you with a huge stick after the accident...
i gave an HSE bloke a lecture on why large strong burly blokes can actually lift more than 25kgs and how their one size fits all legislation was crap, as they expect a 4'10" asthmatic girl to carry 25kg too.. he couldn't actually put up an argument
All I can say is without the h+s act the construction industry would be killing fields! In my job ( motorway maintenance ) if health and saftey didn't exist there would be alot of lives lost!
I'd never count on any pension promise. I'm going to make sure I work my ass off to have things I want without getting into debt and make sure my mortgage is paid off as soon as possible. Then I'll put as much as I want away each month whilst I'm working. I also plan on having a few kids (don't tell Dougie) so they can pay for me too :)
Pension? what pension? don't have one!

and this morning, we gave the local highways dept an almighty bollocking because when our firm does streetworks, we have to put up temp lights, cones, signage & staff in ppe. but they are letting some cowboys re-stone a footpath right on the roadside with not even a single yellow coat, sign, cone or bloody anything, and it is on a blind brow......
my pension plan is the biweekly poor tax lol

even i have one of them. i pay 4% of my months wages in, company sticks 4% in aswell :)
the welfare state was a fantastic but fatally flawed system. it relied on the population growing at the same rate so the young ones paid for the old, but population growth is not linear, and people are living way longer, so the welfare state pyramid is going to crumble very soon
**** pensions you must be crazy to go near one!
IF i make it to retiring age im gonna rob a bank, if i get caught free board, lodgings and regular food. If i get away with it then bingo, sorted for life lol

dont like the idea of strikes myself as people who usually dont need the money organise them,and its the workers with families who suffer as a result of losing wages because they are too scared to be a "scab"
Fukk em! if people on my firm striked and asked me to join in id tell them to get to fukk as i need to earn money to provide for my family.Bollocks to making a point,whats standing outside with a load of posters smoking roll ups all day going to achieve? Fukk all,thats what.

Join the club, I can't get a mortgage as I don't have any savings to pay a deposit... by the time I've got some cash together and can afford to get a decent place, I won't have enough time left in my working life to pay off the mortgage!
Mind you, Hayley is rich. She can go out and work and I'll be the man about the house :d
...as for a pot to p!ss in, that was last week whilst in hospital
