so.

What makes me sick is that for some reason I've never fathomed is that
public sector workers seem to assume that a yearly pay rise is a right
as opposed to being discretionary by the employer. They really need to
rejoin the real world at some point.

Not just the public sector, it seems. There's a plonker from Swissport
trying to justify why striking at the airports on the bank holiday weekend
is a good idea. And so many cliches in so few sentences I haven't heard in a
long time. What a dickhead.

That would never happen on the railways of course. The routes to the
seaside are all closed for engineering work most August bank holidays.

Is there ANY evidence that there is intelligent life in the body
calling itself Bob Crowe?

If you want a real laugh, go and have a look at his welcoming video on
the RMT website. "We're here for you....." - unless you're one of the
long-suffering sods who has to rely on one of your members to get from
A to B!

Well, it is his job to support his members, whether anyone else
supports them or not. I suppose a more intelligent union leader would
be selling out and chasing a knighthood. There's been plenty of those.
