Howmanheyman 26900 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Well I was on Nightshift last night and between the kids being off through the one day strike and some builders outside my house I've had about 2.5 hours kip.* I'm knackered. I used to have a final salary pension where it was gratis, I put nothing into it, but of course it had to change, tough shitski as they say behind the iron curtain. *Of course I wasn't woken by the kids but by the Wife with the all time fucking classic, "YOU'S BETTER BE QUIET! YOUR DAD'S IN BED!!" Never bastard fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Reckon this could lead to a strike.. 200 Hewlett Packard jobs at Cobalt Business Park face export to India Wonder if we'll get more sympathy, given it'll be EVERY citizen's data getting off-shored to India and not just a matter of civil servant pensions dropping.

snakehips 0 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 If it were my union who was voting about the future of our pensions (with the belief we were going to be worse off, work longer, for less) I'm confident more than just 35% of those eligible would get off their backsides to cast their vote. Incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveTheBobby 1 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 It's their own time they're wasting. shot ! been a bugbear of mine for years whenever these lot get the plackards out. on lunch earlier and had to negotiate the mob around monument gobshiting and bleating. a kid infront of me as we snaked through crowd was shouting down the speaker "GET BACK TO WORK ... YOUR PENSIONS AREN'T FAIR" . laughing, i turned and gave it a "well said that man" . all that was uttered interms of a comeback from the folk around was 'oh shutup' . now given the supposed emotive subject it is to them and how so fucking hard done by the soft lot are i expected something wholly more confrontational surely ! pathetic bunch . a burgeoning overstaffed civil service to keep employment sweet, all standing about the water machines having their gossip, flexi fucking time, special buses laid on to take them to work, general unaccountability for what they actually DO, overtime at a whim etc etc . the country's bent over to keep majority these clowns in employ for years - seriously get a look around you clueless swipecarding, health and safety adhering robotic, selfish, grey, boring deluded (on the whole useless) plebs. Most of them institutionalised from being under the public sector duvet for years. They'd curl up and die if had to hack it in the private sector ! (y'know - where you have to actually DO shit, and by a certain time, and to a certain standard, and without unions, and without 'have t ask me liine managaa' , and without a health and safety test for where youre paper clips are on your cunting desk, ... otherwise you get sacked. Or the company no longer becomes financially viable due to the lame calibre of the workforce, or even worse - you get made redundant . YOU HEARD ! .. phew . . anyone fancy a cuppa ?

Meenzer 14057 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Besides, it's the workshy nature of the indigenous population that makes us such an attractive destination for job-seeking immigrants in the first place. Nice of Leazes to sidetrack this thread on the very first page though, it saves us getting emotionally invested in it only for the inevitable to happen 17 pages in.

It's this tax bracket that holds most of the people that got us into the current shitstorm....most of whom have superb private pensions. Wouldn't that be fantastic? Not economically realistic in the least though. And my attitude isn't that at all. I just fail to see why I should have to sympathise with those who effectively pointed and laughed some years previously. When state pension was introduced in this country, life expectancy was considerably lower - around 68/69. People were expected to work until 65 and then have a retirement of 3 to 4 years - more if they were lucky but lets face it many never made it to retirement age. As time has progressed, life expectancy and the population has increased but the pensionable age has remained at 65 - consequently the costs have escalated way beyond inflation and action has had to be taken in order to try to effect some level of sustainability. Many people have a retirement which can last 20-25 years. The question I have yet to see suitably & convincingly answerwed by those organising this industrial action is what is the viable alternative? What do they expect instead. The argument I heard on the news this morning was "well the government have u-turned on other decisions so why not with this?" Cracking argument.
