Just watching the BBC lunchtime news and saw some demonstrations against job losses in Northern Ireland.
Why are people stupid enough to believe that going on strike, demonstrating, rioting (it’s inevitable, isn’t it?), and so on is somehow enough to drag a company back from the edge of bankruptcy and into a healthy situation?
I mean, these same people are probably the ones who were prepared to strike the last time the company in question (and I’m speaking generally) forgot to replace a toilet roll in the company lavatory, or switched to a cheaper and less luxurious alternative. They’ll be the same ones who never miss a chance to report problems to The Union. Trust me, I’ve been there and witnessed it over many years – it IS the way things operate.
So I wonder why it is they can’t see where one of the biggest causes of the mess the company they’re demonstrating against is in is really located?
