A winter of discontent?

#1 Post by Kwackerz » Wed Aug 29, 2007 6:21 pm

Yaay! Prison workers on strike! Maybe this will shake the government into admitting just how bloody awful they really are..

Yeah right!

Anyways. Any prison workers expecting HMF to step in whilst you're fighting the good fight against the government, chin up Fellas, we're too busy. :smt019 :smt019

I do feel for them. Honestly.

We got shafted last year this year we got 3.3% (plus perks). Hopefully you'll be recognised in the next review. :smt001

So who's turn next?

Strike threat at London airports

Heathrow's problems have mounted in the past year
Maintenance workers at Heathrow and Gatwick airports are to stage a 24-hour strike next month over a pay dispute.
GMB members working for Emcor, which provides maintenance, cleaning and security services at the airports, will walk off the job on 7 September.



Ah.. Heathrow's workers..

Its fairly typical of what always happens when we get anything near full employment.

job/pension peeps by the looks of it - we have less than the prison service and I really do hope the Bristol/Bath new workforce who will take our jobs can keep the stores getting out to the lads/esses - if they kill someone I shall be excessively miffed
