I got mine alright on 1 June. Should I join a trade union.

I should if I were you brother. I've heard that the bloke who runs your firm is a tight fisted Scots g%@!

While I think of it, is this really an "operational" post?

I thought this was the area for squirting water and cutting people out of cars etc.

Brian, he gave me 3.2%, which I thought was ok. Should I have asked the old duffer for more? As for firefighters ( that's the modern term for them) being water squirters, you are living in the past. Its a skilled profession. Perhaps you are thinking of the days when they carried 4 pennies on the machines to send back the stops via a public telephone.

Todd.....Fool!!!!!!

Damn, you are right. I should have asked for 4%. I will begin industrial action next week.

I appreciate that a firefighter's skills go beyond how to turn the hose on but I wouldn't decribe the July pay rise as an operational matter.

Perhaps you could consider a work to rule. Start by working only when the boss does. That'll show him.

you should have gone for 3.4% colin, plus a bit more for some to 'sort out differentials'

it seems as good a figure to me as any other i could have made up

Davey, As the only leftie that I have ever liked or found amusing, I wonder if I could join the Union and have you negotiate with my employer?

?

dave bev · « **Reply #13 on:** July 01, 2005, 09:05:23 AM »

on the understanding that it wont prejudice my position in the new order come the day of the revolution, id be pleased to welcome you back to the fold. i say welcome back cos i suspect with your ancestral history your forefathers, or even your fivefathers were indeed of the socialist persuasion!

you may not be able to join the union you hold in high regard against all others though, perhaps an independant union may be the right move - the last time i negotiated with your employer though i ended up buying my own lunch, so im not so sure my skills were as productive as your employer who just waved a slip of paper in the general direction of the cashier! but if you think i could be of any service please forward your personal details, bank account details and passwords along with a full set of house keys to my offshore banking organisation where i will keep them safe and secure it my personal safe deposit box.
