geared Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 You'd of thought with the way people are going on that we're heading for an extreme version of America's healthcare system, where the user pays through the nose for everything. People forget that they can still have complicated life-saving treatment performed by incredibly skilled professionals all for free. Complain all you want, but when the same treatment in America will cost hundreds of thousands of pounds suddenly the NHS looks pretty good. The union couldn't give a toss about "maintaining a decent service". They are just out for more money from their members.. Couldn't agree more.

retep Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 McCluskey was trying to organise a national strike last year. He was also trying to make sure that any strikers still got full pay. He also denied giving millions to the Labour party. When pressed how much it actually was he said "£3 million". Since Mr Miliband won the Labour leadership – thanks to union block votes – in September 2010, Unite has given £7.5million to the Labour Party and is its biggest paymaster.

mikem8634 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 My mum was a union delegate for COHSE, long since retired, and she is absolutely disgusted by what unions have become. In her own words, more interested in putting people from Africa on the front covers of their brochures, and having nice glass offices in London, than they are about helping WWC people that they were set up to represent.

wobblybob50 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Ha ha ha Retep you believe the right wing Tory blurb in the Mail do you, theres always one. I am a shop steward for the Unite union and we are a right of centre, very democratic organization. We work with employers to resolve difficulies before they become problems and a good employer (and there are many) will always listen to reason and come to an amicable agreement. Its always better for consultation rather than confrontation. Unfortunatly we have a right wing tory govenment supported by some fence sitting muppets who are bent on hammering the working class and people with genuine disabilities of this country and if we dont stand up and defend our hard fought for rights they will trample us. I for one dont want to see the poor get poorer while fat cats get richer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
