Why is it that the frustrations of the workplace are targeted at the union? Why isn't the same rage and contempt shown equally towards the employer? Or the people that work beside you on a day to day basis who continue to rort the system openly for their own benefit?
Reps are no more thick skinned than the average crew member, why would they be? Why is it reasonable to expect that they should be able to cop on the chin the daily bagging they get for doing the work NOBODY else wants to do. And even more disgusting are the people that reap the benfits of working in an industry that has been built on representation but don't actually contribute to currently. Funny how they are always the ones with the loudest mouths down the back galley.
Crew are their own worst enemies, they do what suits them best at the expense of others, and the only time they whinge is if it affects them personally. Where's all the enthiusiastic opinions when a forum's on? Oh thats right, they're not paid to be there so they don't bother showing up. How nice to have the luxury of someone else sticking their neck out on a daily basis, nothing like having someone else take care of the dirty laundry and taking out the trash for you is there?
Generally speaking of course..........
