DaveK Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Come on then guys and gals, who's out next tuesday and will you be on the picket lines or do you have something better to do? I'll kick it off, I'm reluctantly on strike but refuse to spend money travelling 20 miles to picket. I'd rather go and blat some pigeons to supplement my loss of earnings for the day.

henry d Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Not my union but my wife is.I have to say as a union activist I would think it better to show a solid support for this action and be there as a days pay is peanuts compared to how much you will lose when the government messes your pensions up.

mel b3 Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 i'm out next tuesday , i'm not sure about the picket line yet , i've never been on a picket line before, will we have to stand around fire buckets and throw bricks at the scabs ? :thumbs: , it might just be an excuse to throw bricks at the people i don't like .

SNAKEBITE Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Pensions. ******** if you have one ******** if you don't. A right old lottery. My dad paid into his for about 40 years and got nothing, the company ripped him and many others off. I started my pension about 15 years ago and the company have now changed it from a "final salary" to a "not too sure what you get but keep giving us the cash" pension.

Pedro Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 We're not allowed to go on strike, but I'd be out if I could. We pay a massive lump of our wages into a good scheme that pays well when we retire - thank god, because I can't see a state pension being around then Mrs P. has taken out extra AVCs and an ISA to cover her when she finishes. Bloody ridiculous, but one of those things you have to do these days P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
