I believe tezza wrote in an earlier posting "Don't believe everything you
read or hear on TV" - I would imagine the internet would be much the same

Who says they are? My ex-wharfie friend (ex, because he was one of the 1400
who were sacked, and would return as a non-unionist (go on, call him a
scab)) says that 90% of what is reported about pay, conditions and rorts is
correct!

Not really - the FSU just realises that technology has moved on, and that
the financial corporations do not need the huge numbers of staff that were
previously needed. What is needed in the Finance sector is a union that is
prepared to sit down with management and work through the issues involved,
not one that is prepared to shut everything down when they cant get their
own way!

I apologise to everybody else who reads this newsgroup - I DID after all
remind those involved in the last Industrial Relations flame war that this
was a rail newsgroup, not an IR one.
