Not forgetting the post office union, that when they came out on strike, they were told theres not enough funds in the pot?..If every trucker inn the country paid into the pot, it still wouldnt be enough tom pay a living wage via strike pay…they would be bankrupt within a short time. Back inn the days of industrial action, we came out regardless of strike funds, we had something to prove, and we proved it on a couple of occasions, many supported the miners at wapping, sadly they got stuffed, and so did the mines, exactly what the government wanted. Times have changed, and its everyone for himself i hear time after time. This protest was advertised a while ago, its author nameless, and for a reason no doubt, but its a call to drivers to take action, no time, no place, just dont go to work that day…sorry, but it aint gonna work…the majority of drivers today need leadership, without leadership, they dont know what day it is, which is why theres so many moaning about conditions…if your not happy…move on, find a company who will look after you more than the one your with, its not that difficult, and sooner or later the low paid employers will have to up their game, or pack it in, thats the only choice you have, is to fight for your own rights and conditions. I have read a lot of posts, ive heard of drivers asking my company wants me to pay this, or that, to sign this or that, tell them to do one, get together in that company, then you have power, no company will sack the lot of you, if they do , theres other ways to deal with them, but at least, stand proud, and dont be bullied…theres others who often say.whats so and so like to work for ( thats a classic ) find out for yourself, dont believe someone who tells you his fattest wage packet including overtime, bonus, holiday pay etc etc, Yeah mate, its a great company, i take home £800 every week, and only work 50 hours
sound familiar, yeah we`ve all been there, but not believed a word…but its not all drivers who tell lies, management do to…dont stand for it, and dont believe this strike action is gonna get you somewhere, it wont, only a days lost pay, and possibly the sack if you drop them in the ■■■■, back in my day, everyone was out, so it didnt matter, and we became united and beat the system. Unions today are like parking meters/speed cameras,m just a cash cow to keep the higher ups in comfort.
