Anyone who has read back through my posts will know that I am not anti-Union. I would recommend to anyone that I cared for (outside of my organisation) that they join a Union.
They can be good personally, but organisationally they can be a pain in the butt. This week has been Union week for me.
I have been shouted at, abused, and essentially told that I am one step away from being Pol Pot.
Why?
Because I suggested that an 11.8% pay deal was probably a little unrealistic given then current economic climate.
Because I refused to enshrine redundancy terms of four weeks pay per year of service into our terms and conditions.
Becuase I turned down, out of hand, a 33% increase to base pay.
And one lot has now indicated that because we are being so unreasonable they are going to ballot for industrial action.
Yeah...you know that "I support the ability of labour to organise" malarkey....its taken a knocking.....boy has it taken a knocking......
