C.P.S.U. Conference Galway

A Country Voice

Just noticed that the C.P.S.U. Conference is scheduled for the Raddisson Hotel in Galway this weekend. Is it even starting tomorrow? Not sure of the timetable.
I've been reading of many many people who have lost out on costs of flights, holidays, etc etc. over the past few days due to the union banning the hiring of temporary staff in the passport office, (although how a union can ban the bosses from hiring staff is definitely beyond me), they have banned their members in the passport office from doing overtime, they decide every now and again not to answer phones, etc.
Anyway, if any of those people want to vent their fury, maybe the conference in galway would be the spot to do it.
Just a heads up for those looking to find the culprits
I'm waiting on a passport at the moment.
I havent been directly affected by the dispute yet.
If and when I am, they'll be sorry they f**ked with me

No harm if those lads got a bit of flak sure enough.


Make them earn their money for a change.

actually i believe that they will not co-operate with such people if hired, as you say they cannot actually stop recruitment, but they can refuse to train them

they have banned their members in the passport office from doing overtime,

er no the members have decided to support the proposed action in a vote, including a ban on overtime

There's already a thread discussing the industrial action or whatever its being called as well as the effects on people.

While there's no problem with a thread discussing the CPSU conference, this is basically a rant thread that won't give birth to discussion. Consider the ranting forum or consider a blog.
