and how much did the Prospect Union leader earn in 2012?

£200k+

thats for representing 34,000 people.

and we think politicians are overpaid!

Where did you get this information from?

Prospect represents 112,000 at present.

Gen Sec is paid £110K (from 2015 accounts).

So he has taken a pay cut since 2012? Unlikely I think.

You can keep carping, but Corbyn is on the up, whereas you my friend, will remain moribund, encased in an impenetrable block of Claptonite.

you are disgusting : to describe the IRA murders of people in birmingham, warrington, brighton, omagh etc as 'carping' is almost beyond belief
to support corbyn is to walk in their shoes.

Many young people can't join the unions, even if they wanted to.

They don't, so that's fine. Dinosaurs will do what they do, which is usually to die out.

Most grads are entering low wage insecure employment for which there isn't a union for them to join.

That's because we have so many lame degrees. Those getting good grades in relevant subjects are in demand and start on £30k+. Of course, this takes hard work, so not for the "everything on a plate with no effort" types.

Its the generations that went before who are enjoying the kind of jobs that have unionised workforces.

See "everything on a plate" above. Personally I'd rather drink a bucket of cold vomit than join a union, but standards vary.

Polls show that people like Corbn, and thats in spite of a relentless campaign of propaanda against him from the Tory owned press.

Spelling, typos, must try harder.

No it isn't you odd, obsessional little man.

Corbyn is an elected politician who is also the leader of Her Majesty's Opposition.

If you have something to contribute about house prices and the economy by all means do so. If you just want to make absurd connections that primarily exist in your own weird fractured brain then maybe they would best be shared with your therapist, or whoever your primary caregiver is.

I find it hard to believe you are able to look after yourself.

I do kind of suspect you are Bruno.

prosepect 2012 anual return

Page 13

You see when Paul noon retired he got given a £90k pension golden goodbye.

Taking his earnings £219,035 inc pension contributions.

And you are right it is 110k ish members, I took a number from an article, which on re reading doesnt say that the 34k civil servants are total members.

"Prospect represents 34,000 specialist civil servants who are struggling to cope with a three year pay freeze.
At the time the pay freeze was announced in 2010, Mr Noon criticised MPs for giving themselves a 1.5 per cent pay rise at the same time as treating civil servants "harshly"."

Best way of keeping the labour party in the wilderness

Whilst this is clearly funny, I do think it's a bit "not cricket" to flippantly muck about with the political future of the country. Sorry to sound like a tutting librarian.



Acutally, being an old school librarian in a pre-computer age is pretty much my dream job.
