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

Ban anyone that complains and you always win. Simples.

Maybe it's just me being inconsistent, but I detect a hint of irony about this thread. It's HEAVY irony, so can't go in LR.

NAT being inconsistent . . .

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.

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.

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

Unite have been just as successful so far. They've managed to cost a load of their members several days pay and the lifetime loss of some seriously good perks and have gained, well, nothing.

It is therefore time brothers and sisters, we showed the filthy rich owners of CUK who really runs the show around here.

Everybody out!

Dim, you've turned socialist

Please hand in your Kapitalism membership card and all your BTL profits on your way out.
