30/11 Strikes.

Yes, heaven forbid that the aim of a strike is to cause disruption :rolleyes:


Maybe they should all sit around after school singning songs about how displeased they are instead.

There is disruption caused by strike action, and the intentional exacerbating of that disruption by unreasonable and underhand measures.

Having spoken to the Head, he told me that as of Friday all his staff had either informed him of their intention to strike or not, or had given the impression (by agreeing to the temporary timetable) that they were.....over the weekend (allegedly under pressure from their collegues and reps) they withdrew their support for the alternative arrangements and he has no choice but to close the school completely.

Some of us are attempting to reopen the school staffing it with Parents and members of the local church (it being a catholic school), I'm not sure if we can as yet, it is being checked out at the moment.
 
And who removed the tight controls on banks?
Who spent money in a boom rather than paying off debt, so when the crisis hit, we had spare money to bolster the economy.

If they weren't going to cut deficits, then how would that work. Would be even more than the current defecit is.

Good luck getting CRB clearance in by Wednesday.

why wouldn't you answer unless you were trying to be deliberately misleading or awkward ? It doesn't help to garner public support if you start hacking off the general public in this way. Most people whilst inconvenienced would probably not be as bothered, however pull stunts like Castiel described and you can pretty much forget about public support and empathy.

I think the unions lost sight of trying to garner public support a long time ago.

Maybe we should stop protecting the ability to withdraw labour if it is going to be used as a means to subvert the democratic process?

Agreed when we can also stop the banks threatening to pull their operations elsewhere to subvert the national good to their benefit. That argument goes both ways. My view stand up on both accounts.

There should always be a way to subvert the democratic process, it's actually an overiding requirement of a high function democracy.

Of course, if you'd like us all to live in a dictatorship disguised as a democracy then be my guest.

You might not want to do that mate it has big implications as an organised things and you would most likely need CRB checks etc. Be careful.

Because contrary to popular opionion public support is not required, even though it may be desired.

Popular opinion certainly helps though, doesn't it? If you continue to alienate the people who vote, and they side with the government, it's hardly likely to work in your favour is it?

The reason 'because' isn't that though is it? It's because the unions actions are unpopular with the majority.
 
Castiel said:
I have it, as do a number of others.....all with regard to the local authority and dealing with children in schools....the word from the Council is that a CRB check wouldn't be required under these circumstances anyway.

Good luck with it then, I'm sure you'll have a great time - apprently teaching is easy.

Apparently the Council say there should be no issue, as many of us already have CRB clearance with the local council anyway...and the Church is putting up their buildings for our use.
