What a turncoat, from voice of the shop floor to back pocket of the management, his members must have been impressed |
agreed! what a turncoat
he'll openly admit it, very disliked after that move , although he did tell the men that he'd look after them if he was boss.
the point is there aren't many people who are capable of not looking after themselves, while portraying themselves as working class heros.
look at that hero of nulabour whats he doing now????
Honestly I think that egotistical nutters like Arthur and thatcher ruined the unions, it was about themselves and not the people they were supposed to represent, both were happy to see the pawns used and suffering while they continued the game in relative luxury.
the witch ruined the unions meanwhile germany kept their workers rights and we ended up losing all of our production base to them, she truly was from hell, I blame her for new labour aswell, in fact I blame her for HIV aswell. |  | | |

Without doubt, SCARGILL gave Thatcher all the ammo she needed but sadly some still to this day cannot see it due to their class war hatred.
A steady ,honest Trade Union movement would have negated THATCHER .

And if you can't understand the irony of unions being set up to combat these big greedy profit making multi-national companies only for the unions themselves to become big greedy profit making organisations with their leaders on more money than CEO's of multi-national companies then you have probably sunk as low as you're going to get in life. |
Unions are not set up to combat companies, they exist to represent their members and to get the best deals for them. Therefore, if they are not members they do not get representation. Quite easy to understand, isn't It? | | | |

YES and its not the Unions mandate to try to bring down a government anymore than it is not to represent those members (and there are) WHO DONT VOTE labour | |

Unions have a vital role to play in the protection of their members and to ensure that employers don't act like complete dicks towards them.
Unions also need to realise that they have to work with employers, not against them. Union agitation did more to destroy manufacturing in the UK during the 70's and 80's than any Government. |  |

Thatcherism destroyed the manufacturing base, not unions, although she blamed them and the welfare state for her own misguided politics | | | |

i don't think that's correct is it???
Lest not forget those miners were dying on mass as a result of emphysema and similar diseases. They were badly underpaid to start with.
So why did she have to kill off the boat builders the steel and the other production based work.
We have a shortage of tradesmen and nurses in this country which we all to often thank the foreign workers for coming and doing for us, that's all very kind of them really nice people for coming over and helping us out, i wonder why they don't help their own countries out instead?
But i remember a the time when the witch actually did this, i think the union was the AUEW (maybe wrong) they were fighting along with the nurses union to stop the cuts and they warned there would be a shortage of skills in 20 years time.
She truly fukked us over not the unions, i was there!
We had so many union meetings/talks on the subject.
The witch was very lucky with the oil and then the war,
please tell me how market forces could have worked?
the writing is on the wall

oh, fair enough. £13 odd a month is nothing to anyone and never makes a difference to people's lives.

The point was being made by several (union people) that union subs are so low EVERYONE can afford them and therefore no one should have sympathy for those that choose not to join.
I was pointing out that they can't. For some people, £13 can make all the difference, and people shouldn't be so blase about it.
Has no relevance whatsoever to whether unions do or don't have a valid role.
I think you are missing the point. | | | |

Lots of trade unions have affiliations to the Labour party, that's right the Labour party which is a right wing party and has been for decades now, Labour the bankers friends party, Labour the anti poor party, Labour the austerity for the less well off party.
The trade unions are a disgrace, founding fathers would be turning in their graves. |  |

Labour are currently playing 'inside right' in old football terms, they are now looking to play out on the 'right' touchline, getting chalk on their boots, the trade unions up until now have been happy to support a team out on the right flank playing 'inside right' but they are not so happy in some cases with them being on the right touchline.
People that vote for Labour are voting for austerity and right wing policies [just like people voting Conservative], people have little idea where the relative parties stand in comparison to each other, if you are sympathetic to left of centre parties you would be Plaid in Wales, Green in England and SNP in Scotland, every other major party are right wing. | |

During the Thatcher years, more than 50 companies were sold or privatised. Many of these were from the power and water utilities. Privatization, will always be linked with the Thatcher era, however else you may try to spin things around. | | | |

Many state run industries ,like the British CAR INDUSTRY were appalling .
Don't get me started on motor bike industry which was a dinosaur.
Many "WORKING CLASS" people bought shares too,often the ones that bought their council house for feck all | |
