Union officials talk!talk!talk! While Building bosses kill!kill!kill! Time to strike!strike!strike!

This is not along article. Because since the publication of the 31% increase in the killing of site workers by construction bosses in the year March 2006 to March 2007 fulltime union officials have been queuing up, with UCATT’s General secretary Ritchie at the head of the queue, to speak to the press about the appalling situation in construction. Many thousands of words have been written and volumes of hot air, enough to further affect climate change, has been expelled by these officials talking to the media about the killing of site workers. There has been much wringing of hands, beating of breasts and weeping of copious CROCODILE tears by these same people. Works and Pensions Secretary Peter Hain, well-known political bullshitter, called a summit in London on September 17^th to discuss what to do about the carnage. But of course the killing and it looks like the increase in this continues with news of deaths on sites all over Britain reported it seems about every other day. Talk about ‘Nero fiddling while Rome burns’!

All these people do is talk while building workers burn, so to speak!

FTO’s & POLITICIANS’ WEASEL WORDS & CROCODILE TEARS WON’T STOP KILLING!

ONLY STRIKE ACTION WILL!

If Fulltime Union Officials [FTO’s] and politicians over the years really felt a quarter of how they profess to feel in public about the killing and maiming of site workers it would’ve stopped long ago! Of course none of them ever talk about what it would really take to stop the killing. Because their lives and limbs are not at risk in union offices [or the odd time they actually visit workers on sites this days] or the Houses of Parliament. Of course strike action would also upset the ultra friendly relationships they have with, all but in this case construction bosses, who effectively control all fulltime union officials. And the Government [of whatever hue!]

It is an indisputable fact that only site workers whose lives and limbs are at risk on a daily basis in the Killing Fields known as Britain’s Construction Industry can have the desire, the anger and have the potential power to put a stop to the wanton killing and maiming on the sites. And it is only when they get organised, mobilised and strike and hit those callous, ruthless, profiteering building bosses responsible for the killing in the only place it really hurts their pockets – hit their profits hard – that they will listen to us and agree to put the measures and policies on wages and working conditions in place needed to stop the carnage and improve immeasurably the working lives of site workers. And don’t forget they kill and maim and exploit building workers regardless of where you come from or your colour or beliefs! So it’s time for all site workers to Unite and Fight together regardless of these things too!!

STRIKE TO STOP THE KILLING

AND MAIMING!

STRIKE TO GET THE WAGES AND CONDITIONS FOR ALL WHICH WILL ENABLE THIS!!
