Unite suspends Gerard Coyne
For ""bringing the union into disrepute". Rumours that he won the election against Len McCluskey.
Only just seen this (it's almost a day old). Thoughts?

Fuck Unions
It's not 1960 anymore - people have rights, health and safety and equality is legally enforced, you can't arbitrarily fire people, threaten as an employer etc....so why are the Unions still allowed to do that!?
They are populated by some very unpleasant bullies who quite literally prevent people doing their work efficiently and speedily, because it would raise their employers expectations.
I get that they needed to exist at some point, but now? They are havens for horrible jobsworths who like the sound of their own bleating.

As someone who was literally prevented from boarding a train for about 30 seconds
by a conductor standing in an open door, because "the whistle has already been blown", and who subsequently diagnosed said conductor's condition with great accuracy, I believe I am qualified for this task.

is your sexual attraction towards her related to her powerful, dominant position do you think?

That is the sort of crude question I would expect from your class of person.

I never really agreed with Mitterand about her having "the mouth of Marilyn Monroe"

yeah it's an interesting point
my brother in law had to wait months for his union to quibble with his employer about how much their pay rises and bonuses should be, they were .25% apart from reaching agreement and all the while he could have really really used the money in the meantime, it just seemed so pointless

Totally prepared to "eat my hat" but I think McCluskey will have won this. I can't really see this as a nobbling, more a purge, because they waited until after the polls closed. Although if Coyne has won it will look very bad.
