Staff Join UNITE union.

The fact that Chansiri still isn’t in communication with any of staff about what’s going on is absolutely unbelievable. It tells you everything about the man’s character, he has no shame

They shouldn’t but it’s necessary in the world we currently live in 

Unfortunately, its been necessary since the Tolpuddle Martyrs in the early 1800s.

This 100%. Matchday strike incoming - can already hear the abuse being hurled by ******** wanting to get through the turnstiles to buy a pint.

It’s the workers who voted to strike not the union

Unite do what the workers want not the other way round

It’s a pretty high bar nowadays to even get a mandate for strike action 

A workforce has to be pretty pïssed off to get to that point

Staff going on strike and getting a game or two abandoned would be hugely helpful to the IFR building their case against Chumpsiri. 

Bring it on.

Perhaps feeling a bit more like it'll make a difference, now that the football regulator is in place. 

 

Surely this can't go on for much longer. News is that Chansiri is ignoring calls and refusing any communication. It won't end well for him.

 

What we up to now? 6 embargoes? Staff unionising, regulator sniffing about, protests on and off the pitch.

 

Sell up. For fûcks sake. Do the right thing, pick up your phone and make a deal. 

 

I want to take my son to a game this season. Took him to watch us smash Plymouth last season and he absolutely loved it. He keeps wanting me to take him again and I absolutely will not until Chansiri has gone. 

My almost 14yr old son’s birthday is right around when we play the pigs… I really want to be able to take him. He understands and is on board with boycotting but it’s just really, really sad

If that's what it takes, that's what takes. Withdrawal of labour is the ultimate expression of freedom.

Nobody should have to join a union to ensure they have legal rights to recourse against their employer for not being paid their contractual wage owed.

Saddly they do.

Do people seriously want the owners to earn less?

There are other forms of industrial action than striking, Strikes are the last thing anyone wants to do, but sometimes, like War, there is nothing left.

TRUE

They need to ballot for strike action which is their democratic right. Chansiri can’t impose any anti -union legislation.

Set up a strike fund and make sure everyone penny that would have been spent on match tickets, Bovril, pies and pints goes into the fund to make sure they are ok.

What an absolute load of bóllox..Seriously give your head a wobble or carry on funding and supporting the current regime and continue to comply and be subservient.

It's interesting that this info seems to have come from the Union.

My understanding is that some staff don't want to involve the Union in matters just yet. I think for all Chansiri's faults - and not paying them their full wages is obviously the biggest - he's done a lot of good things for the staff team to improve working conditions. People remember this, but the lack of communication and repeat offending is chipping away at his banked respect.
