    Unfortunately comrades, I will not be able to support you as I fear the loss of my CUK perks.

      Never been in a union (my university had a "Guild of Students" rather than an SU), but I have worked where union negotiation had brought me a shorter working week.
      If you have to add a , it isn't funny. HTH. LOL.

        I worked at one place where the union reasoned thus:

        If a worker is on holiday, then they're denied the chance to earn overtime. To compensate for this, workers should get a holiday bonus of 10% for each working day taken as holiday.

        What amazed me, is that this was accepted by management.

        btw - as with students, it's impossible for CUK posters to strike, as striking presupposes that any of us are actually doing any work.

          NAT being inconsistent . . .

              Ban anyone that complains and you always win. Simples.

                  This strike is crap.
                  And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

                      Sorry. With your "Honourary Laydee" moniker I had you pegged as a bint.
