Surely Managerial interaction has a lot to do with the sector/workplace in question?

I assume from your name you drive a skip wagon for a living?

That surely would have a different level of involvement from Management from what I do, Telecom Rigger/Engineer, where we are completely autonomous and pretty much left alone to carry on with our work.

Managers call US for advice due to them not always having the skills or experience that people in the field have, I'll answer my phone to colleagues to give advice and I also call them out of hours.

Obviously we can turn our phones off but we also have a call out rota so get used to taking work calls, militancy is all well and good and I realise some workplaces will still have a bullying mentality but I've been in work for almost 40yrs and really think the vast majority of places are ok.

Depends what sort of people you know I guess and what jobs they have, we're relatively specialised I guess so maybe not talked down to that much.

In the workplace, people get judged by their peers, and if someone goes around rubbing people up the wrong way, they will inevitably cause a reaction. So long as things are running smoothly, I fully expect to be left alone. That's the way it works, keep off the staffs back and the job gets done. Decide to be a pain in the arse and we can easily make things grind to a halt!

The fact that you cannot see what is wrong with the above explains a lot about the problems of manufacturing in the UK compared to more progressive attitudes of other countries.

The sad thing is you appear to see obstinacy, obstructiveness and a blinkered approach as something to be admired, and probably see the film "I'm all right Jack" as an example of when the UK was an industrial power.

No, he dives in skips looking for rubbish.

Then recycles it on here!

Might be being a bit thick here but as a virus it will not recognise any mandate from any government anywhere and will continue doing it's thing regardless. As a population there must be some kind of personal responsibility to themselves or others until such time a cure is found or it burns itself out. I am very anti government and agree that the rules are haphazard at best as they are and stupidly will always put economics before life. It's just the way it is and we as a population continue to think they will somehow fix it. They won't. Therefore, people should look out for each other but many just don't care and don't think it will affect them. I work in social care and have a vulnerable relative and whilst this has been going on I have limited all contact as much as possible for my safety and the people I look after and helped anyone that I could as I am fit and healthy. Everyone has a responsibility for themselves and those around them. We cannot have it all ways and the way things are going we will just have to adapt.

Yep, have been a union member all my working life. Can't stand all the PC crap that goes with Unions and the Left in general these days, but have still always believed in the principle of union membership.

And you voted Tory 😂

And for Brexit

Which most working class people did. As for voting Tory, how do you think they got so many seats in the traditional Labour areas of the North?

Mostly with an anti immigrant rhetoric.

With lies ?

Often stated, but doesn't appear actually to be true.

Could or couldn't stand?

Could not.

And the Labour party hardly doing themselves any favours especially on the Brexit question

It just seems ironic that Trade Unionists claiming to be all for workers' rights would vote Brexit?

I never mentioned Brexit though..

Indeed, but I believe it may have been a key topic that perhaps caused a shift in voting patterns in the north as @Smokin Joe mentioned and you responded to. Perhaps few porkies may have been told about Brexit by the Government
