"It's about time we stood up to PB and the gang .."
Q - and without Union sanction/backing to keep it 'official', how are you going to do that?
A - you're not going to. The two Unions are !!!!!/weak/spineless at senior level, (as are the majority of the members), as has been ably demonstrated with the pension issue. The only ones who talk about walking out or doing something more than just talk are the few 'keyboard warriors' on here, and we are not enough on our own.
At our workplace it doesn't happen, and it isn't going to either. They mumble and grumble day in, day out, but they all value their jobs, and the money, far too much to put themselves or their careers on the line, no matter how bad things get. Just like the rest of NATS.
A very sad state of affairs, but thats how it is.
