With recent goings-on within the company it has lead me to consider Unions again. I am not a leftie, flag waving, tools down brothers type

, but I am a working class socialist (albeit a right wing one!)
And I don't believe BECTU represent us properly. They where recently at a meeting (as were the ACF) where the working hours of network engineers were changed. There was little or no consultation, or consideration to the affect they may have had on employees.

I have been in a union before (EEPTU), and they did very little to help the workers in recent years. But I have just joined the CWU, If we can get enough members, ntl will have to recognise them. The CWU have just got Telewest to recognise them see..............
