By who?having asked "quietly" i was told i had to be a member of the union.
No it's not. Democracies don't take away your citizenship if you disagree with the majority view; in fact they have constitutions and supreme courts to protect those who dissent from the tyranny of the majority.That's the way democracy works.
At work we have been told that we will not get work from some semi-state's because we don't have a union.I remember many,many years ago working for Bord Gais and you had to join the union. Infact one of your first visitors on day one was a union official to sign you up. I was then let go from work one day short of a year all with the agreement of the union -charming.

Im not in a union and nor do I have any inclination to join but yesterday I was 'told' by a more senior member of staff to either join and participate in the work stoppage or take a days annual leave. I have no intention in doing either - not sure how this will be recieved but we'll see.
That is indeed your entitlement. You may find that your leave request would be refused anyway.Im not in a union and nor do I have any inclination to join but yesterday I was 'told' by a more senior member of staff to either join and participate in the work stoppage or take a days annual leave.

I am happy about my job and pay.
Is this so?

Meatmonger, I sympathise completely with you - I am in the same position myself and am strongly considering resigning from my union which I have been a member of for over 20 years. Good luck to you whatever you decide.
Incredible is a good choice of word here. Public sector procurement is open and transparent. Award criteria are published in the tender. Tenderers can see their scorings after evaluation. There are appeals procedures in place.Wow. I didn't think that happened any more. Incredible.
