MF CREW
Betty,
your post 3277 was excellent and summed up my thoughts when reading the contributions that MF posts. That said nearly all your posts on here are excellent, you are one of the few consistent, balanced and fair posters from any workgroup.
I felt that same myself about MF posts but did not say anything in anticipation of being banned for 'playing the player and not the ball'.
I do hope that this dispute will soon be over, but I think (sadly) that it is going to run for sometime yet due to the mindset and the BASSA hierarchy and the Socialist beliefs of UNITE, who seem to be the most unprofessional organisation led by unprofessional/uneducated people earning huge salaries and with nothing to lose from continuing this dispute.
As I type this the world news is on the BBC about the struggles in the middle east/north africa and it just seem that this dispute and peoples concerns on either side are so small when compared with the life/death struggles out there.......but I guess we are lucky that we live in a society where losing a CSD from a crew compliment and a few other changes to terms and conditions /loss of staff travel are enough to motivate cries of outrage/illegality/against my human rights/racism etc.....rather than a society where actually not having jobs/votes/food and losing our lives as these poor folks do is a reailty.
