RMT used to make a political contribution, when did that change?

 

Several years ago - 2004 IIRC

 

Oi no dissing all PFI's thankewe very much. Proper way to build and
maintain things it is.

If you do it right.

Caveat Emptor.

 

Ta.

 

I wasn't dissing them, from the point of view of the fund management
industry, they're manna from heaven.

 

Very rare that is, as rare as a dog that speaks Norwegian.

 

Iirc, lot of compulsory o/t for those left, supervisors and managers
manning the desks, a hurried intake of raw recruits. ATC jobs were in
demand at the time as many poor saps thought it was somehow a job worth
having. Hhahaha, little did they know.

 

Oh I do, too.

I have no experience in this area, at all. I'm not really sure about the
'limited funds' bit.

You think? Could be I suppose.

Heh.

Perhaps they agree with the idea of unions, but feel those specific
disputes are un-reasonable?

That's my experience.

Incidentally, being forced to re-ballot usually results in a higher
turnout and a higher yes vote, again, IME.

 

Perhaps "limited" is the wrong word. There are a lot of calls on union
funds, and administration doesn't always get much of a look-in -
particularly, as sweller says, at branch level. I'm not justifying it,
merely saying how it appears.

 

Worth far more than mine.

I can understand that.

Maybe it needs more focus if the unions would like to prevent this kind
of thing happening. Not saying that it *does* mind. Just making a view.

What sort of dog did you have in mind?

 

And in this case who is the buyer?

 

No, they disagree with anything that might slightly inconvenience them;
pure and simple.

I thought the BA strike action was unecessary (the union's offered
savings close to those the company were looking for, give or take- the
strike has surely cost BA more; and I think it's all about BA trying to
beat the unions). I was absolutely disgusted that pilots were
training to act as strike busters- I'd certainly have been spitting in
their tea if I was cabin crew...

 

Well there's your reason then.

IME the SPV works fucking hard for every penny so the scales are perfectly
balanced
