    If they dont make staff jobs secure, why would anyone vote to have their pay cut?

    At least one Tug driver had his house repossesed last week and one Sky god had his mortgage changed to Interest Only and added the fee on to the term.

    Told you, but even I did not think you would have been the first to grab the microphone, from your tone of voice it wont take alot to work out which way that you will be voting.

    Is it back to the 1970's dock strikes?
    When I switched traffic from Liverpool to Felixstowe because the union hot heads had made Liverpool unmanageable by its p*ss poor management?
    Transhipments in Rotterdam and RO RO ferry traffic to get the cargo into the UK?

    It reminds me me of the old joke:

    How many people work at Liverpool docks?

    About half of them!
