Are The Unions Being obstructive?

[Bobbisox1]

And trying to score political points by saying Teachers have no guarantee of safety to return to work June 1st?
( I know we have teachers and ex teachers on here, what do they think?)

Isn’t it the unions job to be obtrusive?

[dannyk13]

Bobbi, do you mean obstructive?

[Tilly2]

...or intrusive?

[Zacs-Master]

But they’re working now.

[Bobbisox1]

Obstructive but unfortunately you can’t right a wrong on here when predictive text decides to change it Danny :0/

[Bobbisox1]

Ed/ spare Ed,can you change the word obtrusive to obstructive please???

[ToraToraTora]

yes, as usual, bunch of lefties representing a bunch of lefties. No one has a guarantee of safety why do they think they can demand one?

[royfromaus]

Why change it?

[Bobbisox1]

3Ts my thoughts went to those working in supermarkets, food banks, binmen , postmen etc, what guarantee were they given? None at all

[naomi24]

Yes - as always.

[Apc2604]

No, I think they should be doing what they are doing - talking to the government in order to discuss there concerns on behalf of who they represent. Teachers, classroom assistants have expressed concerns. So would I.

[Bobbisox1]

Roy, because it’s not the meaning intended , hopefully people get the gist of the OP

[Apc2604]

If unions act reasonably than they have a part to play.

[Bobbisox1]

APC, I agree and I think having a union to represent you is a good thing , sadly Scargill gave Thatcher the ammunition to smash them, thus giving them a bad name

[Bazile]

On a general point ,if it wasn't for unions a lot of people would be ridden over by their employers

[Bobbisox1]

Again, I’m in agreement Bazile but I just feel at this time perhaps some point scoring is going on similarly with Nicola Sturgeon

Love this site - any subject can turn into an argument over one word. My daughter is a teacher and she is working at the moment. 14 children whose parents are key workers. I do worry about her safety.
