Rob W Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Bad time to go on unofficial strike - Total just WAITING to import a load of Poles etc to finish the job............... and hell who cares if its late - they are probably looking at deferring the spending anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total have called their bluff majorly by laying all 900 off. Regardless of how this ends (looks messy given all the other sites are crying about it) those Strikers aren't going to be so quick to run out of the door next time. It's contracting........what do they expect? They get great money and zero security. Choose another job if you don't like your colleagues being binned when the Client feels like it.

Dave Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8108941.stm If I ran the plant, I'd have done the same. That is all. That was my initial reaction too tbh, despite knowing little or nothing about their dispute. Striking at this point in time seems ludicrous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 shouldn't have gone on unofficial strike. i'd like to know if that agreement had been made mind before commenting on wether it was a legitimate grouse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
