Re: Bin Men Strike
 

i am still ray not lol i do not get business sorry if i find hard to understand but i am very new to this sorry again ray.

Re: Bin Men Strike
 

Suppose so but after the binmen squashed the lid on my bin and they wouldn't give me a new one for ages I had to do something.:)

Re: Bin Men Strike
 

Ray, this strike affects people who normally have their bins emptied on a Wednesday or a Thursday.

On the 16th and 17th July the bin men are going on strike because of a disagreement over their pay so no bins will be emptied on those dates.

These people's bins will be emptied at a later date as specified by Pam1 in the original post in this thread. :)

Hope that explains things.

P.S.....LOL stands for laugh out loud. No-one was calling you LOL. :)

Re: Bin Men Strike
 

i do not know if you got my last one but please reply thanks ray.

Re: Bin Men Strike
 

It affects all council workers doesn't it ? Presumably if there are no council services for 2 days then we will have 2 days deducted off the council tax bill ? ;)

Re: Bin Men Strike

Re: Bin Men Strike
 

maybe thats because i wasnt paying attention, what was the question?

Re: Bin Men Strike

Re: Bin Men Strike
 

ahhhhhhhhh, lol - laugh out loud...if you get stuck with anything else your best off not asking me cos i dont pay attention to much on here :D i'm in a world of my own half the time

Re: Bin Men Strike
 

It's not just council workers either Dave, it's anyone who is in Unison... which includes the majority of where I work which is a housing association. However, I am not in the union so will be scab for two days :rolleyes:

Re: Bin Men Strike
 

well thats summat to be proud of.:rolleyes:

Re: Bin Men Strike
 

Don't have much choice, if I am not a union member then I can't strike!

Re: Bin Men Strike
 

so on that basis you would cross a picket line if one was there, yet still hold yer hand out fer union negotiated rises? the Tolpuddle Men would turn in their graves.:cool:

Re: Bin Men Strike
 

I actually approached personnel asking if I could negotiate my own rise as I wasn't part of the union and was turned down...so what else can I do??

As I couldn't turn any pay rises down either.... go figure!

Re: Bin Men Strike
 

i figured all i need thanks.

Re: Bin Men Strike
 

Not sure what you mean Cashy - but unions did as much harm as they did good. Snout's in trough syndrome.:(

Re: Bin Men Strike
 

disagree on that, yes they did have too much power, but Thatcher killed that by legislation that did away with "Wildcat" strikes n Secondary Picketing, which was no bad thing in real terms, strike action after had to be balloted on, which again was ok,its a subject very close to my heart n one i shall take with me to the grave.

Re: Bin Men Strike
 

Can't argue with that but my union sold me down the river and I know a lot of miners that live in Spain.:gooddog:

Re: Bin Men Strike
 

I can remember in Building Trade strike in the early 70s, I was working for shopfitters at the time and pickets arrived at Ryddings Street, they talked to us and told us what they were striking for. It appeared that the achieve the level of pay they were after we would have had to take a pay cut:eek:
