Strikes are expected to recommence should members choose to turn down the offer.

Is that who they are sending back?

Think you could do this? It looks way more fun, than it is. I tried it once, I felt pretty good, till I saw all the line handlers laughing, as they held my rope.

(accidents happen, a big wave rolls between the ship and wets you a little, or a lot.. or you get *dipped* by the laughing guys on the rope)

Did you ever see a personnel transfer between two ships, at sea? (sometimes we send supplies, top up fuel, if we're already racing bow-to-bow anyway?

Anyway, Some guy over there, waves those paddles, and send Kathy over... And see what they send back?

Early digital photos were so small. These were produced from prints, they'd come back from developing on Floppy Disk, with the prints.

Taken by me, waiting for the ship to dock on the opposite side, so we could go ashore and waste some money. .

I was looking for a light bulb, when an old RECALL list fell out.
That's the list used to reach all Ship's Company, if required, at any time.
Every ship uses these, but decades after the ship is gone, this is full of memories. I've lost touch since I retired, barely remember names.
I'm typing it into a list so I can remember the names of old wingers...

The Royal College of Nursing - RCN joins with other health unions to demand pay talks in place of pay review process | News | Royal College of Nursing

RCN joins with other health unions to demand pay talks in place of pay review process

Health unions will not submit joint evidence to the NHS Pay Review Body while pay disputes remain unresolved

"The RCN, along with 13 other unions, together representing more than one million members of nursing staff, ambulance staff, porters and other NHS employees, have instead called for direct pay talks with ministers."

I'd love to. But unlike @petersmithca I've not the patience to do such fine work.

This remains unpainted. In 1974, I went on HMCS Annapolis, DDH265, and I have mugs and stickers and badges.. but this one, Aluminium casted, still not painted. Never will be. mementos, that I have no room for..

On the 2nd day of action by

Dec. 27, 1888: The Nursing Record

Let it be fully borne in mind that good Nursing cannot be had cheap. Any plan of Nursing based upon cheapness is an economic mistake, a social wrong, unjust to a Nurse, and a very dubious benefit to her employer

Sunak's handling of the strike, and any other, is about creating 'enemies within', that's the only logical conclusion. It's not about public services.
