Well played kidda. Sadly, its stories such as this that show why union membership and interest is waning, despite some of the hardest most austere times in 30 years in the UK. Working men and women need unions to fight their cause not to go off on a fight for a cause that simply doesn't exist, except in the minds of fat useless old ****s from the NUM and other spineless union dinosaurs.
I've experience with Unison and with BECTU, the media technicians union and both have proven to be useless and worse, no help and it was clear to me they were in cohoots with management, deals on the side etc. I've met a few genuine shop stewards..by that I mean 1, in my whole working experience. Full of self serving wasters. I am sure they were mainly mags, must have been to be such a bunch of tossers.
