Good Luck to those striking today (92)
robpacciani: its grand for you to say, you obviously dont want to work!!!
'Want' doesn't come into it. Would love to work outside the home but no job (Civil Service included) could be as flexible as I would require it to be. Personal and family reasons that cannot be ignored.
Cappuchino: Here Rob check this link out..And stop useing the recession as an excuse for your laziness. Its a link with a load of jobs in Sligo.
laziness? that link you posted... where is the job for a scaffolder, cos i cant see any???
in my 3 years as a scaffolder, i have done 100 times more work than you will ever do pal!!LusciousLibra: 'Want' doesn't come into it.

And ya were paid 100 times more than me...But theres lots of jobs for people that have no experience in various fields on that link. Are ya restricted to scaffolding??? I wouldn't imagine you are I'd say just lazy

Well said...
robpacciani: thank you jimbo... when i was on good money scaffolding, i still ended up paying 300-500 tax on a weeks wage.. i remember doing overtime one week and i got taxed 800 in one week... and now listening to this nonsense out of the public sector and half the country out of work, and im sure some men out there are suicidal... shame on ye
i was at the blocks myself but artrithis forced me to stop but i do remember the jealousy that tradesmen could be paid so much completely forgetting that they broke there backs building the country and the tax that they paid also. To the public servents get back to work but before ye do get down on yer knees and be greatful for what ye haveColm1982: Very mature reply
I will withdraw from the argument u are far 2 clever 4 me

you obviously only have something to say when you want to start an argument... i never post to you, so dont post to me!!
Cappuchino: First of all I think your waffleing and secondly there are 3 jobs there in call centres where it states no experience neccessary???But then again what scaffolders take call centre jobs???If your so desperate for a job as you are making out (which I also doubt as I reckon your just lazy)...apply for them
Good point

im done talking to you as you are just getting personal.. which is uncalled for.. i have applied for hundreds of jobs and no luck.. for every one job available, there is probably at least 100 applicants for the one job, thats a fact.. as for you, your getting paid at the end of every week so stop your pathetic crying nancyboy
Normally I wouldn't have any time for this strike or the pickets. However, as the state seemed to have the money to bail out the bankers without a single one being called to account, then anything adds to this governments unpopularity is fine by me.
I'd be very wary about this public sector / private sector arguement. While we all fight with each other, politicians continue to look after their own interests and those of their friends. May I remind you that Brian Cowan is paid more than Barak Obama.

scriobhneoir: Good luck to all those CS members striking today. My organisation is one of those affected by the fallout from the floods, so we won't be taking part, but good luck to those involved.
Said on TV and Radio that the tailbacks into Newry were huge! Great way to help the economy. Strike for the day and cost the country millions and on your "day off" head up north and spend your money in the UK.

Yip the Government are pitting the public and private sector against each other and while everyone is at each other no one is looking at the real people who got us ALL both public and private workers into the mess..... the elected Government that was put into power by the people so maybe we the people should look at holding them accountable for squandering the money that the country had made during the boom years.
And yes you are right Keith where are they getting the money to bail out the bankers ????

They borrowed the money to bail out the banks. Should we borrow money to keep the public sector workers in the style they are accoustomed too?

Thats so outa line. Anyone with a job who calls someone unemployed lazy is just a fool! Were all these people lazy when the economy was booming? No!!! They all had jobs and worked hard! But they lost their jobs through no fault of their own. There are 500,000 people unemployed....are there 500,000 jobs on those sites? Muppet!
I can see you are very diplomatic JLM but most of us have walked in their shoes. They are striking against cuts to wages most of us have had to endure already. We have endured lower wages since January.
Also yes there lower paid public sectot workers but none on less that 25k a year. If you go onto most jobs site you will see most admin private sector jobs are offering way less that that now. Plus if their wages are cut by 5% it means someone on 100k a year is down 5k and someone on 25k is down 1250 euro.
Also they are going about things arese about face. They governmant still has not made any final decision on public sector pay but they are striking before the budget?
Its a just in case strike that is costing the country millions! There are also thousands of them travelling up North to spend their money in the UK when they are costing the country millions already. The teachers only picketed till 10am and then went home. All the rest are picketing in 2 hour shifts!
They cant even be bothered to picket for the day!
