    they arent giving me the extra hours they said they would

    oh and the new guy has been breaking the law! he hasnt been checking the food temps, i have mentioned it to my bosses so wether he will start doing it or not is another thing, he was already breaking the law by smoking in his chef whites (i pointed it out to them)

    thing is the new guy DOESNT have kids, he has a 2nd job where as i dont! i have 2 kids to look after & a wedding to pay for and they can go balls if i am postponing the wedding! i cant even rant on faceache about it anymore cause they have ways of finding out whats been said!

    The unions aren't any good in my opinion - we see the devastation round us every day and it was mainly down to the unions - so many factories and mines have shut in this region. The amount they want the teachers and Sencos to picket is ridiculous as well.

    If you join a union, you can get legal representation. I'm with the NUT and any legal represention would be paid for by the union, not me.

    Try CAB first though. Good luck x

    Raekim, I wouldn't be a teacher without being in a union - too risky, even though I don't believe in all the action they advocate.

    As I said, speak to CAB or as you said it is a small family run place, what about the actual owner? Any joy there?
