Or a sensible principle derived from refusing to be part of an outfit which (tacitly if not outright) encourages in-work bullying, singling out of non correct union members and enjoys the hypocrisy of calling for a workers' revolution whilst at the same time pay their leaders six-figure packages.
Well I was a union representative for 8 years and certainly did not condone that sort of behaviour, nor did I see it in other grades or companies. If that is in your workplace then you have my sympathies.
1. A colleague of mine (Guard) left the RMT for various reasons to join ATCU. The response of men who for years had been his friends and colleagues was downright disgusting. He would walk into the mess room, whilst his colleagues would either get up and walk out, or be simply downright rude to him (he would say good morning and they would continue talking amongst themselves or tell him to f*** off). I do not want to be part of any organisation who encourages or even merely accepts this type of appalling schoolboy-like bullying.
Sounds like a problem with morons acting like that more than the union condoning or encouraging that sort of behaviour. What makes you think that the union "accepts" that type of behaviour? I knew a lot of union officials and representatives from across the country, the different unions and grades and I cannot recall anyone thinking that was acceptable so I am afraid is sounds like a problem in your messroom that a norm
