war1974:
can someone give any recent examples of a union doing good work ( extra pay increases/ holidays / pensions etc)?i cant recall a single one, you have firemen striking for being asked to work until the same ages as the rest of the workforce, NHS being shafted on pensions to think of a couple.
in transport i dont see hear or read of any firms saying oh we gave our drivers a 10% PAY RISE thanks to unite etc.
and i still 100% say they are a buunch of cowboys who will take you for a ride. we were adivsed to reject a 10% pay rise back in the 90’s by the GMB ended up with 3 after negotiations i would lose my job if i was that [zb] at negotiations.
Unite have just got me 17.5% pay increase 30 mins paid break equates to another 4.55% increase and from April 1st 2022 another 30mins paid break overall 26% pay increase last year extra days leave
