My first 12 years of work was retail, eventually becoming a manager. I am now work in a quango, although one of the good ones.

I know I've now got a good deal with my pension, and I think it's wrong to strike about it. Someone who has been at my office a lot longer than me (but is same age as me) said when the last strike happened it was pretty much split - older half went on strike, younger came into work.

Seems like the older people think they are entitled to everything under the sun and can't seem to face the fact that things must change. The younger generation realise they have got a reasonable deal and don't moan about it.

I signed a contract to work and I'm not backing out of it. I will gladly come to work on the 30th.

The unions just seem to make things worse nowadays, demanding unreasonable terms (asking for a 4% pay rise IIRC when I joined just as the economic meltdown occurred :roll: ). They seem outdated, overly militant and never seem to be happy with anything. They are just irrelevant to me nowadays and I find them embarrassing.

thats because unions are for the working class not poxy ******* management jesus this pissis me off wake up and smell the gravy :evil: :x

Maybe the older end believe in sticking together and looking after each other instead of the 'I'm alright Jack, f**k the rest of you' attitude many of the younger lot seem to have. I'm not in the older end but I know which group I'd prefer to be in.

If you really think that all a Union does is demand high wage rises and goes on strike then I'm glad you are not a member of my Union. What is embarrassing is that you seem to have no idea about all the good work Unions do for workers on the shop floor day in day out.

well said brock mate

Actually I think you're wrong about the younger generation, they do stick together. Well they are here anyway, trying to figure out why the institutionalised oldies, with no idea what it's like "out there", are whining about now.
