postal strike

V8MoneyPit:
Here's a thought....

Can anyone think of any industry that has actually got better as a direct result of strike action? The only ones I can think of no longer exist.

V8MoneyPit:

--- Quote from: "BadgersRover" ---The union are the cause of the problem here, no-one else.  If they had kept their beaks out then the job cuts would be minimised and pay raised by an ammount over the next 2 years.
--- End quote ---


But it's the individuals who are refusing to work. They do have minds of their own and don't need to do as the unions tell them.

Yoshi:
Yeah, but the unions make it sound alot better than it is.

Thrasher:
I have very bad memories of the coal strike. My dad was physically attacked, called all sorts of names etc. whenever he went to work.

It was all wrong. He was not a miner, but he worked for the NCB (or British Coal as it became) as a geologist and then in coal marketing and preparation.

That strike really did kill deep pit mining :(

V8MoneyPit:
Fair point. But are the strikers really that gullible? Maybe so.
