“well corus have mugged its honest and hard working workforce now.Hope they are satisfied but at the same time don't expect us to be so enthusiastic about cost saving in the future.Besides corus will have their own ideas about that as we already know.”

“tata want our livleyhoods,jobs and kids futures and our history
they can get away with it today
strike...now”

“PS forgot to remind you all about how much real estate was purchased by tata when they took over. most are prime locations which will ensure vast profits for them when all the sites are demolished. not a bad bit of business eh? ( you always have to ask the question -WHY?) why did tata buy corus? it doesn't take much working out when you look at the bigger picture.”

“people! we all have to realise that tata never had long-term plans for our steel industry. they borrowed money in a boom-time to buy a competitor in order to access their markets, steal the know-how and milk the profits, ( with one eye on the pension fund). they waited for the capitalist-induced recession to validate the systematic removal of hard-won wages,terms and conditions of the british steelworker. it's begun and won't end until we are trampled into the " stoor. " we will soon have to pay pounds to buy steel that is made for rupees. and for all those "agent provocateurs" commenting, your views only serve to fuel the fire of division and conquest among the british workers. get off your knees and go collect your thirty pieces of indian silver. for the rest of you, lobby your elected representatives to demand that OUR Goverrnment do what we pay them for - namely protect the intersts of our country by not capitulating to those who would do us harm. our steel industry is our herirtage and necessary for our future and our descendants' future.”

“I own a modest semi too paul lets talk”

“team strike, i am not bitter i work on the works and know most of workers live beyond their means.start living and spending like normal folk. youll need the cash when tata and lyons sells us out. About being a wannabe, I own my own modest semi and car. I dont want to keep up with you weekend millionaires.”

“Paul from Scunthorpe you sound a bit bitter mate?? maybe ur a ten bob millionaire wannabe?? Corus probably rejected your application because your not skilled enough to work here?? Well I can speak for most of the honest hard working steelworkers i know when i say weve never had the super inflated wages someone is telling you we are getting. Get a grip and support the only thing that is stopping Scunthorpe being the worlds biggest pit village.”

“Our forefathers would turn in their graves, honest, decent and proud men who over the past years stood together through hardships to get decent wages and conditions for to their families and todays generation, now everyone is back biting and back stabbing just to look after number one, the time has come for the steel unions to get together and ask for the help of all unions in the UK to give full support for an all out boycott of Tata products, there is no harm in talking to EU counterparts and trying to enlist their help to, lets face it the Goverment will do nothing unless pushed. blockade all Corus sites, no steel and especially no machinery goes out, There will be those who say a strike is futile and look what happened to the miners, but one big difference is Scargill thought his miners had the power to go alone, All workers from all unions united stand a chance to show that enough is enough and hit Tata where they understand pain, in the pocket”

“if u strike how are u going to pay for your big mortgages in bottesford and messingham. your not working class just snobby beat the jones gits, u had it to good .now pay the price, sell the bmw,s u ten bob millionaires.”

“Corus? All they want is our bonus's. That's been obvious for a while. But us workers here at Dalzell are on 3 weeks holiday, and expecting a bonus in the July wage. They wait till we and the union reps are off then hit us with this crap about stealing our money. They have no right doing this, I'm hoping the unions will fight this case and we get our money back as it's not looking as if we're going to get any bonus at all this month. IDIOTS!!! Not just that, But we have been kept in the dark about what's happening with the business for the last 6 months. The people who run this company clearly only care about themselves, not the people who do the hard and dangerous work to produce the steel itself!!!!”
