Would not surprise me if the same happens with Royal mail and parcel farce

10 of us sat around a table at work today during dinner. Only one supported the strike the rest said it was bad for the customer and they had no time for the strikers.
I wonder what they would have said if it was their jobs at risk.

So what were the other 'resorts' that they resorted to?
Well in that case you should support the union and their action. The workers are looking out for themselves and hey, whilst there at it, they're looking out for all the workers as well. Now, that's some going, isn't it.

They tried compromising with the management, but the management shafted them. The management have insisted that they work longer hours for less pay and if they won't do it, they will be sacked. So, now the unions are watching their own backs so that the management don't shaft them again because they are thinking about themselves.
