Labour was always going to side with the union because Unite is one of Labour's biggest backers. Their union backing is the reason Labour shat themselves when the Conservatives suggested a Ł50,000 limit on donations. Seems they only want to stop large donations to other parties.
If they do strike, and people can't get petrol, and goods can't get into the shops, and non-emergency hospital appointments are cancelled, and schools are closed etc. etc. etc... let's see how much sympathy and support the well-paid tanker drivers get from Joe Public then... not that they seem to have too much right now. |

Does anyone actually know why the 'well paid' tanker drivers are threatening to strike ...Or are you just blowing hot air?

About as much as your suggestion that the labour party 'shat' themselves did in your comment earlier is my guess.....

Typical 'Im alright jack attitude' One point i will agree on, the politicians do NOT care, Mr Cameron the least. He wants the public to put pressure on the union to back down ...He caused the rush to the pumps to facilitate that... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/ene...el-crisis.html

People who complain about striking need to take history into perspective. Without unions, there would be no minimum wage, sickness benefits, mat/paternity pay, holiday, maximum working hours, rules against child labour, decent working conditions etc.
These things affect us all, and even Arista uses sickness/holiday benefits without realising how he got them. People need to stop being so short-sighted about how issues with fuel affect us here in this minute. Strikes and unions improve working conditions for us all, and I say this as an employer. |

I totally agree with you ...People do not realise how they got to be in the position they are in, unions play an important role.

My 'attitude' is simply a reflection of my view on this topic and not a slur on you personally. If you misread it as such im sorry. If you can be bothered i would love to debate this issue with you further.

No they are trying hard.
And if they did not pre -warn us about a Possible Strikes the Public would hate them even more at strike time. Should be a Good Question Time on BBC1 later tonight I wish the Bloated BBC would go back to doing it Live not Pre Edited, recorded 3 or more hours before it goes out. The drivers want less hours set up the Deal - Do not sit on you fecking hands Poxy Union. Last edited by arista; 29-03-2012 at 05:20 PM. |
