[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 380243, member: 1408"] Coming from the days of the " Closed Shop"..... the comunist led ETU ... and contractors being JIB "Free" members I was wondering if many Forumites were still members . I've just recalled when I started work as a 15 yr old apprentice in industry . About 10 sparks in the maintenance shop , one of whom never spoke to me at all until after about 2 yrs he issued a threat ...as the union shop steward saying he couldn't make me join the union as an apprentice but at 21 I would be forced to join or begger off . Nice bloke :( Thankfully I left at 17 to join a large contracting firm ...at 21 became a "Free " JIB union member . I met many characters over the years who should never have left the rock from whence they had crawled from under and the Forman at that place was the first I came across , a slimy sub-human turd with the charisma of a bucket of vomit with a dead rat floating in it .
