Thomas Cook lock in.

AnimalRights

On the way back after a few scoops and noticed a bit of a commotion outside Thomas Cook, remembered reading about this in this morning's Indo so asked the guy on the door could I go in and take a few Photos, once I proved I wasn't a right wing scumbag he let me in.
Loved the comradieship of the workers, I even felt like getting a tax paying job!!

I have to say, I kind of cringed looking at those photos.

I hope they enjoy their 15 minutes, but they've been offered 3 weeks more pay than legally required, they should just be glad of that.

Ricky I prefer non eye contact, shots don't look as contrived, haviong said that these few shots do look very contrived, hehe.

Is looking like a retard a necessity when striking? What's with the pig masks? Or they the people with swine flu?

What way is the "on strike" look/
Is it a dirt grimed face or union papers in hand been waved through the air?
The Pig's masks are for the usual bosses noses in the troughs, greedy Pigs I would hazard a guess at?

no but being one is...

i used to pass alot of civil servents on the way to college on strike, whipped out the camera a few time to snap a few shots, honest to god, i stopped during framing a few times, they looked like they could barely tie their shoe laces, let alone work in their over paid and over staffed jobs...i put the camera away and if they spoke to me i gve them my opinion.
