Unions Try to Put Heat on Mapp-Pathetic Prats

Just got this email

"Picket Wayne Mapp’s office – The EPMU, on behalf of the CTU, is organising a demonstration outside the electorate office of Wayne Mapp MP to protest against the grossly unfair 90 day probation Bill.

This is the Private Members Bill introduced by Mapp which if passed into law will allow workers to be sacked for no reason in the first 90 days of their employment. It was sent to Select Committee by National, New Zealand First, United Future and the Maori Party.

This is our chance to show the public of New Zealand what the National Party will do to them if given the chance. We will be handing out flyers to passers by, waving signs and making some noise. It should be lots of fun. We need to make this as visual as possible so come down if you can.

When: Friday June 2nd – 7:30-9:30am

Where: North Shore Electorate Office
Suite 3, 15 Anzac Street, Takapuna
PO Box 33017, Takapuna.

    Yeah, this was really pathetic. What a bunch of prats we are...

    Except for the fact that we won - the bill was defeated. Oh yeah, and we were and still are fighting to protect people's right to natural justice in their employment, which is a founding principle of our democracy (and freedom).

    Who are the real prats - the people fighting for other people's rights, or the losers that try to destroy them and can't even do that right?
