Good morning Mr Vine, maybe the unions should give them 1 more chance to talk and warn that the consequences of not talking are their members not working. It is bad enough having to put up with the poor working conditions without the company going back on a pay deal
Not that simple I am afraid... Since good old Iron Lady Thatcher ripped the testicles out of the Unions, we are very weak. It only requires 50%+1 for union recognition, and closed shops are against the law so therefore potentially HALF of the workforce is non union. Although they still benefit from those of us who PAY our union dues and are WILLING to stand up for ourselves, we the UNION MEMBERS are very very expendable. Management doesn't give a toss about us and looks at us as easily replaceable, so striking doesnt accomplish shiite!
