Default Don't the people who moan about their employer know they could be represented by...

...an appropriate Trade Union Did you know that
H&S safety at work
Minimum wages
Maternity/paternity leave
maximum working hours
no work with pay
overtime payments
unfair dismissal laws
and so many other protections at work were brought about through Trade Union pressure?

People in the UK still have that 'Thatcherite' bigotted view of Trade Unions. As my Father used to say...anyone who doesn't join a trade union deserves everything they don't get.

You are absolutely right. Its hard to believe looking at this New Labour govt, that Labour party was rooted in the trade unions

Trade unions have brouht so much to workers and I will never forgive Thatcher to what she did to the coal miners in 84-85
