    Fireman's strike...

    I was watching the news last night and the main story was the Firemen are going to go on strike over pay,one of the reasons stated by the Fireman's Union was that their pay was that low some had been forced to use food banks? This can't be right can it,surely a fireman gets a fairly decent wage and a lot more than I was getting working as a porter at a hospital?

    Why has there suddenly been an upsurge in strikes by ***** services lately,Nurses, Ambulance staff and now Firemen, has the bad old days of the Union come back into the workplace because if it has then we are in trouble,I was once with Unison and was told to go on strike must have been about 6/7 years ago,I told that I didn't want to go on strike as it would leave the hospital short staffed and my conscience wouldn't allow me to,I was told that if I was in Unison I had to go on strike but would still be paid,they couldn't see that it wasn't about money but morals so I promptly withdrew my membership,please tell me that the likes of the unions are back

    Unusual times Chalky. Interest rates and energy charges are up, inflation’s at 10% so when you’re offered 4% or 5% it amounts to a pay cut at the time when mortgages are going up as are all other bills. If you’ve set your outgoings based on what the situation was 18 months age you could well be short now.

    Chalky, the reason why v­ital is in the FootyMad Naughty Word Database is that it was / is part of the name of another organisation's football forum web site.

    You will also find that A­dBlock is treated similarly.

    Of course you know that any c­unt can foil the inhibiting of naughty words, indeed you know exactly how to do it.
