Don't these two posts contradict each other ? Surely the NUT had neither 50% of voting members in favour of strike action nor did they have 50% turnout ? Doesn't that mean the NUT went on strike illegally based on the criteria in Captain Sensible's post ?

Please show me which unions that carried out strike action yesterday had 50%+ members vote for strike action. At a guess I'd suggest it was one - the FBU.

It's not as annoying as someone making wild accusations who, when challenged to provide the evidence, suggests the original post was really some throwaway comment not intended to insult.

Of course you are assuming that his employer recognises the unions for the purpose of collective pay bargaining - many don't.

Thank you but I purposely remove the legal assistance from insurance policies. We've jointly used ( the same ) employment solicitor three times and each time the employer has had to pick up the tab !

That argument goes both ways. My partner was a union member and had to call upon them for help at work. It took them over a week to finally get back to her despite constant chasing.

Seems a little pointless reading a post from someone you've chosen to ignore :p I'm not sure I see the point of the ignore list anyway to be honest - just scroll on ?

Possibly :lolol: One of the problems is that the staff within each 'department' have a siege mentality and there is no sharing of information, processes, systems or even working practices. Each of those organisations I've listed asked me for virtually the same data ( in some cases multiple...

You don't think the whole system needs overhauling ? Really ?? I do have to agree with this though.

With my recent experiences with public sector workers at the council, DWP, job centre and HMRC I struggle to support this strike based on their extreme inefficiency, rudeness, shambolic organisation and complete lack of empathy. The public sector needs a massive top to bottom overhaul but of...
