I think C66 was following on from your post rather than disagreeing?I wasn't suggesting they do.

Having worked, and been in a union for most of my adult life, I can think of quite a few reasons. One of them would be if a union rep had to come on this site to ask for advice.

fucking awesome but wrong
butt he whole point here is that we don't have the whole story we have the story thrid hand from an alternate staff member who seems to have an unntaral urge to want someone to be fired. In itself the story is told from that point of view.
as a real union rep I would be livid if that were the only verison of events which saw some one fired. I would at least expect to hear what the worker themselves had said or who they viewed the situation.
gross misconduct of course can be followed but even then there is still a proceedure which must be followed to establish the facts of the matter which we certainly don't have here on this thread.
and has been said before there's a number of reasons why this person might have become aggressive.

I keep hearing about these organisations, weird that no one ever says where they are? Maybe the boogieman stole them and everyone needs a new one now.
C'mon... one of the good things about Urban is it's diversity. Or are you suggesting that before joining Urban there needs to be a political leanings questionnaire to make sure everyone's the "right" sort of poster ? And has the "right" sort of opinions ?
Wonder how many members there'd be then ? LOL
(And anyhow - this is the employment forum innit for employment questions ?)

I find it interesting that if you are 'left' leaning you can't ethically be a manager/supervisor/boss.

In reality, most people I know seem to be able to separate work and politics quite nicely and don't let the two collide when at work...

Yes - it is possible to be a two-faced hypocrite who advocates left-causes like workers rights at the same time as sacking and disciplining them for being uppity and disrespectful to their betters in the workplace itself.

That's impossible - how are work and politics seperate?

One of the main points of left-politics is that it makes the distinction between bosses and workers. The whole of marxist theory works on that principle, for example. You get the the owners of production/service, then the managers (whip-hands) of production/service - who's job it is to marshall and control the actual workers themselves at the bottom of that chain.
In all seriousness, you must be able to otherwise there'd be far less people in bosses jobs... again I suspect the reality is that most people/bosses don't take their politics to work with them so how would anyone know ?
I been at my current employer for 10 years now & tbh I can only recall a few political discussions the whole time... it's the kind of thing that causes divisions & arguments so whilst it's not discouraged, it kind of appears most people keep off the subject

Depends if you believe going to work and getting a supervisory job/moving up the career ladder to improve your family's lot is by definition hypocritical or bettering oneself doesn't it reallyYes - it is possible to be a two-faced hypocrite who advocates left-causes like workers rights at the same time as sacking and disciplining them for being uppity and disrespectful to their betters in the workplace itself.
Because I don't take my politics to work either. I vote as a private individual and sure I consider what my vote's impact is going to be on myself/family/others etc but I wouldn't go in and announce my political views to my colleagues - nor would I expect them to tell me

No, that's not what they mean. I believe what they're trying to say is actions speak louder than words.

You must be very naive if you don't think your political outlook affects the way you work
Very true indeed - but again I suspect most folks are lethargic about the whole issue and prob in quite a lot of cases reasonably happy... primrose path I think is the expression iirc

It's a shame that - we need more politicking in the workplace - I couldn't work anywhere where we could only talk about certain things. I'm finding it difficult to imagine how you can avoid talking about it.
Nope not naive, just realistic and if I felt that my employer was impinging on or acting against my political thoughts & beliefs, I'd look for another job. & I've got a reasonable amount of work experience now, I just realised it'll be 30 years in August
