Re: Virgin Media screens may go dark at Christmas due to industrial action.
 

WHERE is you factual evidence that any of what you have posted is any other than bull excreta. You are the only one spouting this bull excreta.


How you get away with these constant attacks on VM staff on here is beyond me.

Re: Virgin Media screens may go dark at Christmas due to industrial action.
 

This is incorrect, off topic and is now verging on being libellous.

It is my policy to draw managerial attention to exceptionally good or bad service received from staff in any industry.

Re: Virgin Media screens may go dark at Christmas due to industrial action.
 

More threats

I will say again

There is not going to be any industrial action.

Re: Virgin Media screens may go dark at Christmas due to industrial action.
 

this from the union thread

Virgin Media doesn't have a "broadcasting" division.

Re: Virgin Media screens may go dark at Christmas due to industrial action.
 

I am still waiting for you to clarify what you meant if you think I misunderstood.

You have no reason to say this and are simply baiting and trying to stir things up IMHO.

I have no factual evidence other than what papa smurf said. I am still waiting for a correction of my understanding of his post, if indeed I did misunderstand.

As previously explained, there have been no "attacks" on VM staff, other than in your imagination.

I would also like to draw your attention to what I said previously:

- I have never attacked someone, nor would I, simply because they happen to work for VM. What an absurdly preposterous thing to say!

- I have never used any thread for the purpose of attacking VM staff. I think that Sirius is confusing this with holding an alternative viewpoint.

Re: Virgin Media screens may go dark at Christmas due to industrial action.
 

Erm, no. I have seen you in action in other threads. You're a clown, and I don't take anything you say seriously.

Re: Virgin Media screens may go dark at Christmas due to industrial action.
 

You stated that you believed that I would report VM staff members to their employer.

I provided details on my generic policy regarding staff who give me exceptionally good or bad service.

Please explain why you believe that this is a "threat"?

You have again stated that there will not be industrial action. Whilst this is welcomed, it cannot be taken seriously without factual evidence to support your statement.

Thanks for the link, but this has still not reassured me as a customer that industrial action will not take place. Have the facts in this post made you change your mind on your earlier beliefs? If they have, this will go a long way to reassure myself and others :)

Whilst entitled to your opinion, I believe that you chose to make these remarks at this particular time in order to purposefully attempt to put 'fuel on the fire' in a heated discussion.

Re: Virgin Media screens may go dark at Christmas due to industrial action.
 

Trust me, that would be completely out of character for me.

Re: Virgin Media screens may go dark at Christmas due to industrial action.
 

IF Virgin Media staff are going on strike for a reason or grievance against the company, then l fully support them.

However, IF this strike is over something trivial, then talks need to start immediately otherwise problems will start to hit customers.

BUT NO ONE HAS SAID WHAT THE STRIKE IS ABOUT.

Re: Virgin Media screens may go dark at Christmas due to industrial action.
 

Arthur

THERE IS NO STRIKE, Richard has inferred from a flippant remark that there is going to be industrial action

LET ME REPEAT AGAIN There is not going to be any industrial action

Re: Virgin Media screens may go dark at Christmas due to industrial action.
 

This is my understanding of the situation, which is drawn from various sources. Other viewpoints are available :D

The CWU and some of their members have upset Virgin Media to the point where VM have de-recognised them. There have also been allegations of financial impropriety with members' subscription payments.

Unfortunately, BECTU have been caught up in this as it is not viable to negotiate with such a tiny part of the workforce.

Naturally, BECTU are not happy the situation and there was a post made by a member of staff that suggested to me that screens may go dark over Christmas. This was because BECTU were alleged to be more militant than the CWU and it was inferred that their members were key personnel in the provision of the VM TV service.

There has been a suggestion that the post was tongue in cheek and another member of staff has repeatedly stated that there will not be a strike.

The person who made the post that started the speculation has thus far not confirmed that his post was tongue in cheek, nor confirmed whether my interpretation of his post was correct or not.

The state of play at the moment is that no-one knows for sure if there will be a strike or not, let's hope not ;)
