there are some very ****ty people out there who have no scruples...and MT DOES HAVE A GOOD POINT...call them what you want,..the bottom line is they have no respect for themselves or for the industry
I absolutely agree... but my point is that a true professional will rise above that. The moment you act as they do, or use the threat of violence/intimidation/being called a "S", you are no better than them - you have descended to their level. Sadly, such behaviour is common south of the equator, and was certainly in evidence during the Ansett strike/lockout.
Having been through a couple of industrial actions, I understand the issues, but I believe it is imperative to maintain some level of dignity, and not jump to conclusions. It is not always obvious what is going on. Not everybody crosses a picket line without being compelled to do so, as we saw during the '89 dispute.
Over a few tinnies,I,m sure we could have a great chinwaggle
I'm sure you're right!
