So what if they cancel their membership after you help them? Surely you're in it to help working folk live a better life, not just to get more members/money. Or are we hitting the crux of the union racket with that one post? |
the whole point of the union is everyone pays in just encase anyone of them has bother,

this solicitor cost was far more than I ever put in. |  | | |

Unions are a good thing but and here is the but, they are Tories, red Tories, join a union but don't pay the political levy to the red Tories if the union is affiliated to them is the way forward.
The other day there was reports that a democratically elected Plaid AM was not allowed to speak/ask a question at a rally of 100's of people, on the top table was apparently two red Tories with union officials, if that story is true it is a disgrace. |  |

She wasn't allowed in/ask a question is the story doing the rounds, she has a repetition for doing good work in such disputes I have heard with the Visteon/Ford situation being an example. | |

Absolute rubbish, why should you help someone who pays once gets sorted and leaves the union, my loyalty laid with the everymonth, year on year loyal paying members. Why should that person who wanted to join just to get help be helped, they obviously have no interest other than when the sh*t hits the fan fuk em.
Join by all means but I wouldnt take on an individual case retrospectively, some reps would though |
So you're only loyal to those who pay you money? I thought that was a tory ideology...
What if someone can't afford to join the unions? Would you exclude them too if they choose to spend the subscription fee on clothes or food for their children instead?
Unions had a noble purpose in the past but now it's all about money and you've just admitted that. |  |

Not true at all. She was blackballed, i don't care if you were in there, you were not party to what they said to her. Absolutely disgusting behavior from them, whichever way you or others try to dress it up. |  |

Subs at 0.6 of monthly earns they can afford it alright, its simple they dont want to join, and no not loyal to the money loyal to the members, which in itself is more than enough work, you aint half twisting it | |

Stalin, A communist -left wing-much revered by some, a butcher of his own people who had a very good lifestyle while the comrades eeked out a living in fear of being sent to a Gulag, one who had hi own war agenda and who s army were barbarism personified;YET people see right wing as the Devil.
Plenty of evil right wing dictators and equally many left wing.
UNONS? I was in one and found them utterly useless at a time when the big Unions were the ones who mattered to the TUC , ones who had power, Jones, Scanlon, Jenkins, Scargill, Buckton were utterly disinterested in the country as a whole and were only really interested in their members. THESE PEOPLE were responsible for the chaos, bitterness,divisions that plagued the 70s and which led to Margaret T coming with a clear mandate to smash the union hierarchy. Without the union fascist leaders THATCHER would not have been elected and would not have caused the pain she did.
The British public have neither forgotten or forgiven these people and its why anything remotely left wing LABOUR will not be elected in this country EVER.
The electorate aren't that stupid . | |

I'm not twisting anything. you've just admitted that your union won't help someone who doesn't pay. Lots of people are struggling for cash and that 0.6% might make more of a difference to them and their families in their pockets. What if someone is on long term sickness and facing the chop and isn't earning and needs to save as much cash as they can for medicine? What about the part time student just working for a bit of cash who is getting bullied by an evil fat cat? You would happily turf them out because they aren't willing to fund the union bosses extravagant lifestyle?
It really is all about money. The union bosses well and truely have their snouts in the trough. I've no doubt that your intentions are honourable and there'll be lots of people in it for the right reasons but the soul has gone from it. | |

Was in a job some time ago and was in a bit of bother with a serious complaint.
I was with Unison who were utterly disinterested in fighting my corner and actually refused to come to the tribunal as they didn't see me winning.
I defended myself successfully then went to north Wales to see the rep to basically tell him what a pitiful craven knob he was.
Ive also been laughingly "defended" by the so called Police "union" .
Best option ,if in serious shiute is to go and see and sadly paid a small ransom to a vicious criminal solicitor preferably one who hates the Police .. this advice for serving police officers only | |

Oh, this is classic.
The union subs (flat rate) for the UK's biggest Union, Unite are £13.84 per month at the rate they encourage everyone to use and £13.19 per month at what they call 'basic rate - no additional protection'. These are paid by anyone that works over 21 hours per week (irrespective of income, which is not very progressive is it, but that's a different matter).
This falls into the category of "they can afford it alright - it's simple, they don't want to join" or "I've got no sympathy for people that don't join the Union".
The average value of a foodbank parcel for 5 days breakfast, lunch and dinner (according to the Trussell Trust) is £11.46. Standard foodbank parcels are for 3 days, so would be less.
That, however, falls into the category of "scummy Tory b**tards, killing people who can't afford to eat, even though a lot of them are in work".
Does the value of money change then when it goes towards Union subs?
That sort of thinking is why this country overwhelmingly rejected the Labour party a week ago, whether in favour of the SNP, Conservatives or UKIP. | | | |
