Looey
I am afraid I have to agree with Raydarr. Whilst the last few disputes were over modernisation, for which few out here had any sympathy including myself, pensions are a whole different matter. So many companies have reneged on their schemes and a whole section of our community are going to lead very poor lives at 65+. Mr Brown’s legacy will be around long after his death. However those companies who have to deal with the bigger unions some of which are in a strong position, will not find it so easy to walk away.
Personally I fully support the FBU on this and I hope they have the sense to make it a national and indefinite stoppage in the spring. Just in time to spoil the Afghan thing methinks. As for your stress of having to juggle commitments oh how we smile, that is exactly what you get paid so like it or leave!
