ricgem2002 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 You see this is where the problem is. Socialists, and Union members were called by a PM in the 80's as 'the enemy within' There then began an inroad against Union membership. And thousands fell for it. We end up with the situation you are in. No unity or representation. They are doing as they please, and you are suffering. It is happening everywhwere. They bring in desperate contract men, who have signed away all their rights, just to earn a crust. They dilute the incumbent workforce, and therefore make our clout less than it should be. The lads on contract cannot support us, they would be down the road straightaway. I can see in about 15 years time, when all proper apprentice trained, and qualified men have retired, that all will be agency and contract men. And we will be back to where we where 200 years ago. Gaffers lackeys. It hurts me hard, as i was in the automotive industry as a lad, and we had the gaffers by the balls. As Jack Jones said 'When you have them by the balls. their hearts and minds will follow' Top man he was. i think what your saying is true but will be sooner then 15 years imo.

JFKvsNixon Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I don't believe getting kicked out of colonies is either an unmitigated disaster, or the result of the same attitude which leads workers to resist attacks on their livelihoods in order to finance the wrecklessness of bankers. The unmitigated disaster was the fact that the French refused to face up to facts and thought with their hearts and not their heads. They should have realised that notion of colonialism had had it's day and withdrawn from their colonies, instead they wasted over a million lives in a futile attempt to maintain their pride.

And you squeezed so hard most of the factories closed down. That showed 'em! They still make cars - but they learnt the lesson. - They make most of them elsewhere.
