I think it would mean us putting up a proper border with passport controls between here and the north.
Given the fact that the majority of those represented by the CPSU are low paid public servants, the only avenue we have is to withdraw our labour and as a consequence the public will be affected.
If you have any other suggestion i'd be delighted to hear them because I for one do not want to strike. I want to work, I want to provide a service, but I also want to be paid fairly and treated equally (reffering to my comments on the reversal of pay cuts for higher paid public servants)
The whole thing is stupid and has completely backfired on the CPSU.
It is not only the CPSU that will suffer. All other public servants will be affected.
If there is another pay cut this year there will be no sympathy, even though many public sector employees (in my area anyway) are going about the job in a professional manner.
You mean we should lie to them?Do as Regan did with the Air Traffic Control strikers.

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Dear Mr. Poli:[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif] I have been briefed by members of my staff as to the deplorable state of our nation's air traffic control system. They have told me that too few people working unreasonable hours with obsolete equipment has placed the nation's air travellers in unwarranted danger. In an area so clearly related to public safety the Carter administration has failed to act responsibly.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif] You can rest assured that if I am elected President, I will take whatever steps are necessary to provide our air traffic controllers with the most modern equipment available and to adjust staff levels and work days so that they are commensurate with achieving a maximum degree of public safety....[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif] I pledge to you that my administration will work very closely with you to bring about a spirit of cooperation between the President and the air traffic controllers.[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Sincerely,[/FONT]

Nice. When people start eulogising Reagan and Thatcher you know we're in trouble. Do you have a link to the original?You mean we should lie to them?

If you don't remember, Google it. Then take whatever meaning you like from it.You mean we should lie to them?
I was listening to RTE radio this morning in the car and a representative from the CSPU was on and he was saying the passport office workers are very low paid...
Can anyone confirm exactly what they earn?
