If the unions achieve better conditions for your colleagues, will you decline any offer you may get to improve your working life and pension prospects?

Don,t pretend that unions are representing the downtrodden. People arn't oppressed in t' mill anymore.
THEY are the current bullyboys selfishly putting the interests of their members before that of society who will have to pay for the increases in (or protection of) conditions,and lost productivity , either through higher prices or higher taxes.

What about the post you quoted? Do you agree that those who do not support the unions should benefit from what they achieve?

And another thing : teachers
Striking because they should'nt have their conditions reduced!
A salary of 30,000 a year, 35% contibution to their pension ( listen here to an actuary )http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b010r7c2#synopsis
That comes to £40500 for a part time role ( 38 weeks a year) divide by 38 and times by 48(weeks per year most fulltimers work) and you arrive at TOTAL RENUMERATION = £51158
YEA THEY'RE REALLY HARD DONE BY.


Teachers should hang their heads in shame, cancel the strike and be bl00dy grateful of their FAT pension, FAT pay, FAT holidays and their immense JOB SECURITY - levels of all of these that most people can only dream of.

Yes because otherwise would be even higher reward to bullyboy tactics by introducing a differential
I'd prefer the strikers to be sacked

I think you have your maths and holidays confused, perhaps if you had paid a bit more attention to your teachers, it wouldn't have happend.

Well do highlight my mistakes in red.
You can't make me stand in the corner or suck a dummy for the amusement of the class - not any more.
I won't go to your office















I'm a broken man

plainly no employer is going to tolerate a 2 tier pay structure with those who have cost them significantly in lost days /production at the top and the loyal employees on a reduced amount

Well that would their problem, wouldn't it. Both the public and private sector has been operating prejudicial earnings scales for centuries.

is that right? Well teachers and TA's where I work have just been made redundant because the school budgets has been cut by 25% so no "immense" job security there then!!! Although I have to say, whoever taught you mathematics should be hanging their heads in shame!
