DFCSS Fans Rep Update

[Deeranged]

ironically il be 62 this year also
i too have worked since leaving school
1st 2 years were in the office at sidlaw,no union to speak off
then at a transport firm for 2 years where i got done over and was introduced to Harry McLevy,of the aeu who not only got me my job back but also learned me alot of what is still with me today,
believe me and i hope you will agree that without guys like him there would still be a chance we would still still be getting dragged into machinery by the hair as was the case in the 19th century.

however whilst in the cwu the majority of reps were spot on there was a few sewer rats who wouldv have drank their own piss before putting out a fire,on that front i wish to say our resident on here cwu guy was worth his weight in gold and to this day goes out his way to try and make a difference,and thats a fact

as i said up above B i agree once the union ladder gets climbed above a certain level then in some cases values go straight oot the windee unfortunately

Maybe I was unlucky in that my only, fairly brief, encounter with a union involved what you refer to as 'sewer rats' on the shop floor, people more interested in the time off that the position entailed than helping any of their members.

I guess different paths lead in different directions and it's good that Harry McLevy, who I don't know, was of help to you. I have heard of decent union officials, just never met one.

correction not sewer rats on the shop floor but sewer rats on the union ladder my apols if i never made that clear,im sure if you had met Harry you would agree with my sentiments that i still hold dear,the fact that he still has a debating trophy to this day for schools is testament to the person he was
