Unions do not support abusive behaviour. It might be their job to ensure that a member got a fair hearing, but if the member was, for example, racist, they might not even do that, and would probably expel him/her. |

Pity they're not so hot on kicking out sick pay scroungers who , oh I dunno, go off sick for months and when they're caught playing squash , instead of fessing up like an adult they come out with some BS about it being doctors orders and the muppets in the RMT back them up with a strike threat.

Well, apart from the times, frequently documented on uk.r, where the RMT has issued press statements in favour of staff members who've been dismissed or disciplined for assaulting members of the public. And the time *last month* where they went on strike to support one. -- John Band john at johnband dot org www.johnband.org |

It's their job to represent someone sacked without a proper hearing, not to condone what they are accused of (whether they did it or not). I thought it was the staff member who was assaulted in that case. |
