Steady on ! That is more than a bit harsh !
I can see where you are coming from , but the problem is not as simple nor the people , as you suggest.
People get sucked in to a mindset , as I was discussing with an ex manual worker from Bellozane.
Basically , it is if you are employed by the States and a Union member you are untouchable, you can do as you like and say as you like and unless you are grossly negligent (or extremely, I mean extremely seriously crap, like killing a fellow worker) you cannot get fired.Otherwise the UNION will fight your corner and make sure you are reinstated and payed back pay (probably a sufferance allowance as well) even if if you are the crappiest driver, pisshead ever employed.
I think we should ask Mr Stenniford to make another mark in the side , no pay rises for manual workers , reduced hours over his dead body!
The manual workers , and we all know a few ,and they are not stupid ,are taking the absolute micky and they know it,unfortunately their Union Rep does not know it yet.
what was the address of the twit?
