Suttons Tankers Dispute

robroy:
Love the guys on here who imply that we should be…
‘Ohhh so grateful to have jobs’
and should be
‘Oh so understanding why we should be expected to work for [zb] all and/or take a pay cut’ to keep companies in business.
Jeez H, :unamused:
God help us all, what [zb] chance do we have here.

Jealousy of others who have done better than oneself is a terrible thing and it is exactly what Janos suffers from. His continual use of terms like ‘union fat cats’ and so on demonstrate that. His claims that he would not take a job on Suttons or Ford for £50k (or more) on principle is laughable. Again, it is jealousy in action. His attempts to cover his tracks by somehow blaming the Liverpool dockers of 40 years ago for his hatred of those who happen to be in a union is also laughable. Yet again, it is the politics of envy.

Do you hate train drivers too Janos? By your logic they should happily give up their £55k for 35 hours a week and instead work for half that.

I cannot get my head round the fact that some think that people who are looking at a major wage cut should actually be grateful that they had it good before. These are people who may well have mortgages based on such an income. They may have kid(s) in a private school thanks to it. But no, instead of sticking up for themselves and trying to prevent their lives potentially being turned upside down, they should thank their employer, drop their trousers and metaphorically take it from behind as they meekly accept a 40% wage cut.

Everyone realises that all good things come to an end eventually, but expecting people to roll over and accept it without a fight (except when it affects you, of course) is bizarre behaviour.
