Would the EETPU admit to having colluded with Murdoch in the sacking of thousands of workers? Are you a journalist by any chance? <br /><br />I wouldn’t work for people like Murdoch and I think it’s legitimate to wonder what kind of people do, as I said are they just “following orders” would it be right to speculate that someone who had worked for Murdoch for years has no conscience? Would you for instance be happy to socialise with people who are quite happy to work for NI?Cllr Terry Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285923851619030726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35177951.post-27115910363765199742011-07-10T19:02:17.973+00:002011-07-10T19:02:17.973+00:00Terry, two points... firstly, the Wapping episode ...Terry, two points... firstly, the Wapping episode was 25yrs ago, so I suspect not many of the current staff - journalists, admin or technicians, were there at the time of the move and therefore dont deserve to be castigated for it.<br /><br />Secondly, the Wapping move could not have succeeded without the collusion of the EETPU, so it could be argued that a lack of union solidarity played a large part in building Murdoch's empire.<br /><br />Again, most of the then members of that union are unlikely to still be active, but under the circumstances, if you're going to carp, in a spirit of equity, have a pop at both sidesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35177951.post-32690454368698744512011-07-10T13:30:13.763+00:002011-07-10T13:30:13.763+00:00Anonymous Sunday July 10 2011 12:22: PM.
How many...Anonymous Sunday July 10 2011 12:22: PM.<br /><br />How many employees had no conscience problems about working for Murdoch, how many went with him to Wapping when he sacked thousands of their union brothers and sisters? How did they manage to become part of such evil? Did they tell themselves they “were just following orders”? I would genuinely love to hear their excuses. <br /><br />I bow to no man in my loathing of Polly Tonybee but I don’t mind using her when it suits. She would chop down a tree and stand on the stump to make a speech about conversation.Cllr Terry Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285923851619030726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35177951.post-49361773408454679882011-07-10T12:22:45.530+00:002011-07-10T12:22:45.530+00:00Terry, I believe anyone implicated in the hacking ...Terry, I believe anyone implicated in the hacking scandal should be hung up by the thumbs.<br /><br />But, I do not believe that all News International employees are liars, destined for the pit, nor do I believe the Gospel according to Toynbee, the millionaire Tuscan Trot, is one I should follow without question. The truth probably lies somewhere in between the two.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
