In many countries you starve if you don't work
Quote by Too Hot
we must still feel some pain when people more hungry than we are go into direct competition with us. This is the harsh reality of the global economy and the way that the majority in the world truly have to fight to feed themselves.
Quote by Too Hot
This is not about accepting a downward spiral of wages - but what happened in this country four or five years with the massive influx of plumbers and electricians from the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia? These people were prepared to work longer hours and for less money than the UK nationals - something had to give in that equation - what was it?
Quote by Bluefish2009
I know this very knoble sentiment, but its not happening, it will never happen, so we have to make it work the best way we can so the least amount of people suffer
Quote by Staggerlee_BB
Why did those plumers,electricians etc. Flock here ?Higher wages and better conditions...what then if similar wages and conditions were available in their own countries ? Would they still have come?would some of us make the opposite journey?
The answer isn't and never will be to erode our standard of living in the name of answer is to raise the standard of living worldwide in the name of brotherhood and freedom.
There is an old slogan..."workers of the world unite,you have nothing to lose but your chains." it was and still is true.

Clap clap clap..............
Carry on Staggs, you are almost believing the drivel you write.
" .the 80's were our Gallipoli or Dunkirk...battles are sometimes lost...the answer isn't to surrender ".
That kind of attitude and you wonder why Thatcher wanted the unions smashed.
If I heard one of my employees utter such nonsense I would tell them to fuck right off out of my business.
The trouble is you make it seem like some kind of war.........employees versus employer.
Anybody who wants a lesson in union history and the demise of British industry, look no further than your complete distorted views, and most certainly your statement above!
I have seen people saying things like that just before the whole company went out on strike. British Leyland had hundreds of people like you there....no wonder it went down the toilet.
You my old Son are living in the past, this is not the 80's now........do you really understand how pathetic some of your comments sound?
Can anyone imagine for a second what it must be like to run a business and have people like yourself stirring the shit on a daily basis?
You and your attitudes would not last five minutes in most companies today........this is just so for YOU....
You really need to bring yourself up to date, the 80's are gone now, and thank fuck for that.
Any employer who is not a member or who even is on here , must have their faces in their hands reading this thread, and thanking their lucky stars that attitudes like yours are mainly confined to the dustbin of union history.

I jumped before I was pushed old boy ....we reached an equitable agreement ....I have as I said never been sacked in my life...and if you'd like to include my explanation of the circumstances in any quote you care to find...I think my peers here will feel I was justified in the actions that lead to me leaving

See that is the fantastic thing about the internet....you just do not know when people are telling fibs or actually telling the truth old boy.
