Will the real Dave Prentis please stand up

Well here we go again! Dave Prentis creates more hot air than a jet engine and the worse part is that some people believe him. Yesterday we see him blustering on about how the unions are going to defeat the Tory governments plans for austerity however this won't happen until after the march in October and we all know what march's achieve!. Nice one give the condem time to plan contingencies! Get real Dave you recently said we will fight the coalition on the issue of pensions, thousand of people went on strike in November for what? all we did was lose a days pay, members were still up for the fight but the union leadership and full time unelected officials capitulated to the condems demands and now union members have a worse deal. Its ironic that this announcement comes days after the result of the consultative vote on pensions. The union actively campaigned for a yes vote (organise around a no vote and stand the chance of a disciplinary) to accept the condems proposals and the result was appalling, over 600,00 ballot papers were issued and only just over 100,000  returned them. That means 500,000 didn't bother to vote and they could return the vote for free or register on line.Members are fed up with being told what to do by an incompetent leadership.The condems must laugh their socks off when they see Dave enter the arena. you can't say there will be strike action when the majority of the members won't. If we have to have a leadership of this union it should be someone who is strong, has principals and someone the membership will believe in, not a joke dictator. what is really needed is branch autonomy from all this shit. Branches are where the real work is done, give the power to the members and stop the rhetoric! Stand down Dave.All this is reminiscent of crying wolf. Fight the power!
