Well they didn't ring me!! I wish like hell they had have though.
Now kaptin, you seem sto sidestep this issue of whether you did or didn't try to enter the halls of scabdom early in the dispute. You contend that you signed and withdrew you r application.
That is not true and well you know it.
What happened is this. Youapplied early in the 'dispute' but you were REJECTED because of the part you played in a brawl/fracas/ scrap(or whatever you want to call it) in Brisbane terminal.
When you applied, it was thought by management that you were too a great a risk because of your propensity for violence.
End of story. You did not withdraw your application but were REJECTED, and as such under that goose from Tasmania's definition, are a SCAB. Like it or not.
TNO, you are right on the button with your submission. They are the facts. A notaable error by kaptin is that the 29=% WAS NOT negotiable, and McCarthy said it numerous times, and it was reported in the newspapers as such. I could probably dig out the cuttings if I could get into my attic.
