  Perhaps some of these union sheep ought to look back and see what happened to the British Leyland shop floor workers after they were used by the militant Derek Robinson as a tool to pursue his own personal political agenda. The silver lining for the fat controller is that his life will be totally unaffected if his actions caused Freightliner to go bankrupt. A £100K+ salary and minimal council house rent would let him send the newly unemployed strikers a Christmas card if he still remembered them in December.

  Unions and Politics should never mix, but it does like you point out.

  If you join a Union it's because you want to safe guard your job and your safety at work. Why do they find it diffulcult to just provide this and not end up pursuing their own Socialst/Communist idealisms."
