Does anyone have views about the GMB union..
good or bad union?

Is that owt like a yorkshire fitting ?


Sort of. Both are unnecessary in the 21st century.

That very much depends on where your sitting. Many people in clerical
jobs or the various strata of management and the hallowed halls of
academia think that all that masty union stuff is to do with those low
grade manual workers and as people further up the economic and
intellectual chain, such things dont apply to them and are not to be
considered. Fact is that they need to consider them even more because
when the axe is wielded, it is often the mid sections that are cut
out!. Those on the front line i.e acutal production operatives ,are
still needed to keep companies going and to produce.

I love it when useless parasitical Little Middle Englanders are made
redundant.
