Once again I post this annomaly
I left the Union when I changed from engineer to clerk About ten years ago
It was TGWU, then I belive Amicus, which changed to Unite
The last BA IA I was asked to renew my fees ?
Last week I wa again asked to renew my fees
Now for ten years I have not had a peep out of them, Yet now they are asking for money
They must be needing mugs cash I think
At the moment I am stuck between a rock and a hard place
My employer HMRC is going beyond the pale, with T&C constructive dismissals to meet reduced staffing levels
The Union are beyond the pale with their demands in the current climate
I am in the Union because I am seriously afraid of dismissal, when absent through illness (rule abscent more than twice a year either one day or five each time or OR absent more than ten working days at once)
Or UNION wanting more than any normal person would request in current climes
I do vote, but it is lost amongst the abstainers 3000 yes IA 2500 no IA 20000 did not bother
Then you have the ones who do not join the Union pay nothing but get all the benefits others have forfeited income for
Sheesh what a world
I have only done three Long distance (to me! Dubai) return BA flights this year ECONOMY and the best was on a strike day, even after the aprehension of not getting to my destination on time
All were good, just the strike day, was more pleasant, staff doing that little bit extra than tea coffee You For COFFEE
