ALL unions? That seems a rather sweeping statement Jimmy. My father was a shop steward all his working life, and a big Labour supporter However in 1979 he decided that they had become too powerful and existed only for the benefit of their leaders, not the members Accordingly he resigned his position, and voted for Mrs Thatcher I don't think much has changed today, look at the likes of Len Mccluskey, his only interest is his political ambition - nothing to do with his members
He's leaving it a bit late then, if that's what he wants.
Working conditions were terrible long after WW1; the mines, for one example, only became anything like decent after WW2 and nationalisation.
