Im not in the union (unison) in work...I wont join it because some of my subs will go to the labour party..and im not a labour man...so I had the choice, cross the picket line and face all the abuse an intimidation or take a day out of my holiday...option three would have been a disiplinary for taking the day off..
Not much in it really...and being as I support the principle of the strike I tool a days holiday..
I dont think people would be that bothered but the rule isnt going to apply to certain sectors who are paid using public/local government funds..
Thats whats pi**ing a lot of people off.
Now think of this...
As I mentioned earlier, some of the union subs go towards the labour parties funds..the union indirectly, are supporting the self same (edited!)people who have come up with this scheme...if unision felt so strongly then they should withdraw financial support...you cant call people out on strike and sponsor the party that have caused the (edited!) strike in the first place!
