George Galloway vs 3 anti-union, Pro-Public Sector Pension cuts callers

[jazzey69]

The private elite family of bankers have engineered this years ago .They want us all on the same pay and conditions. It is Communism ! run by the comasars in the EU.

Time to get out of the EU NOW !!!

Good point by George about certain sections of the working class having the wool pulled over their eyes. I wish they would do their own reading and not rely on The Sun and the Daily Mail. Not all, of course but it is a barrier to progress in this country.

[incredibleXMan]

When people say they don't respect certain left wingers views it really irritates me. I get the impression they don't really know what they are and furthermore their policies probably haven't really been put to the test.

[CyeOutsider]

Galloway absolutely hit the nail on the head here. Its just envy the makes people to say that others shouldn't be allowed to advocate for a pay raise because it doesn't benefit them. Absoltely spot on.

hired us.' "He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and you will receive whatever is right.' When evening had come, the lord of the vineyard said to his steward, 'Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning from the last to the first.' "When those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius. When the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise each received a denarius. When they received it, they murmured agains

the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. He went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace. To them he said, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. About the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle. He said to them, 'Why do you stand here all day idle?' "They said to him, 'Because no one has h

Amazingly, this entire issue was dealt with quite some time ago, by a construction worker turned itinerant minister from Galilee.

Not so amazingly is that George's point was right on target, exactly the same.

There happens to be some excellent practical wisdom in the Christian scriptures in the new testament.

Matt 20:1-16 "For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who was the master of a household, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. When he had agreed with

@AirstripOneProle The Murdoch empire has done a good job at brainwashing the working class into turning against each other. They turn against each other and not the capitalist system of economics which exploits hundreds of millions throughout the world. The public sector workers forget that they get reasonable pensions because multi-nations make billions out of third word country exploitation.

@AirstripOneProle

The difference is that in the instance of the public sector a better deal for the workers means a worse deal for the rest of the tax paying population. No ordinary private sector worker will get a final salary pension as they are far too costly to administer and can lead to huge deficits.

I have a good pension but I still pay in more and will receive less than a comparable public sector employee because I don't have the rest of the country topping up any shortfall.

[DrMontague]

@SuperCUNextTuesday Don't you realize if you have children and grandchildren you are saying you want them to get shit pensions?! You should be on the side of your class not against your class. The capitalist scum have fleeced the working classes since the 1830s. Don't believe me?Get an introduction to economic and social history book out the library and see how the capitalist made billions off the labour of men. women and children.

[SuperCUNextTuesday]

@DrMontague

By insisting on this we are crippling our children with more debt, we already spend more on interest than on defence. The pensions they will get are far from shit and most of them are already paid well.

A system where a huge deficit for the employer can suddenly appear due to fluctuations in the financial markets is never a viable one. I deal with a number of companies that would be bust if they had defined benefit pension schemes, they don't work.

[DrMontague]

@SuperCUNextTuesday What about the pension rights of men, women/ and children in third world countries who are grossly exploited by western capitalism. These companies make millions if not billions in profit yet the workers can hardly afford to feed themselves, Anyone who supports this vile capitalist system is no more than a child abuser.

[SuperGhosttrain]

George makes good point, 17K is too low and the man is selling himself short here. Does the hotel earn enough to pay him more? With enough experience/ability everyone should be on a respectable wage to mirror performance/profit but when so many are unemployed it is hard to feel too sympathetic. I've been looking for work for past year and would love a decent job, but if i was unappreciated/or replaceable for cheaper then i guess i too would strike. Can we all agree to stop having a recession.

[DrMontague]

@SuperGhosttrain There should be no such thing as getting shit pensions. Sadly the workers turn against each other instead of the filthy capitalist system that exploit workers for profit. Look at the Western companies in third word countries who have men. women and children working for absolute pittance when they are earning billions in profits.
