Why on earth would I be a green eyed monster and then again why would anybody be green eyed re a job which you all tell is so bad that nobody would want to do it. Members of my family work at Heinz, worked in Mills, worked down the Mines and they all agreed that Heinz was a piece of cake. I found it quite amusing that somebody tried to say it was a high skilled job working on a line. I pondered that and thought if it was so highly skilled how do so many casuals get employed so frequently and seem to have no problem doing the job. One would say that suggests working at Heinz requires little skill.
Therein lies the big issue, an employer that could quite easily close the factory and relocate anywhere / everywhere. I for one do not want that to happen because what matters to me is that Wiganers of teenage years and even younger have a place offering employment in the future. Heinz workers seem oblivious to the fact that this country is going to be screwed for the next 5+ years and are quite happy to risk making it worse.
No Heinz employee can ever play the working class / solidarity card because for generations Heinz workers were overjoyed and thoroughly happy to screw their fellow working class Wiganers etc with their closed shop antics. Not one Heinz worker from that era can have the gaul to call for support. Ludicrously hypocritical.
No member of my family ever crossed a picket line / no member of my family ever scabbed but what I have learned is that it is not only bosses that shaft workers but also Unions even on the Shop Floor and that industrial action has to be planned and timed very well to achieve a successful outcome. The current strike is suicidal. What on Earth are you going to achieve? A few extra pennys but for what? The increased likelihood Heinz walk away from Wigan. I hope the current Heinz workers are prepared to stand in front of the youth of today and tomorrow and explain how for 20 pieces of silver their future outlooks were damaged by fellow Wiganers. Still nothing changes.
A green eyed monster or a voice of reason / common sense
