You should have heard the rubbish they spouted about refusing to use any vehicle/kit that we touched because we would make it unsafe - claimed they would have to scrap every hose, connector, suit, BA - it was pathetic[/quote]
I think the term childish would be more appropriate. They are one of the few remaining union cartels left, who still feel they can frighten the goverment into satisfying their demands. They are slowly being modernised, but like a drowning man are thrashing about in vain. For me, their introduction into the 21st century can't come soon enough.
