Moving swiftly on from how busy Dave Allen is...
I didnt see this point up on the earlier posts but this is in relation to the point that if your on a short term contract 3-6weeks or whatever Prospect cant do anything to help you. You couldnt be more wrong - lets face it early on in our careers (or until very recently in my case) the majority of us work in this way, week here week there and in this way you are incredibly vulnerable. If there was a larger number of transient workers within the union than when they come together on sites there would be a large enough workforce for union recognition. And what about the aforemention H&S information - that would apply whether the unit was unionised or not by you raising concerns.
Get off your arse and stop wingeing - you will achieve nothing in that way!!
And for those who complain subs are too high its interesting to note that the drop right down if you unemployed, and you can pay monthly!
