ConDems vs The Unions

[tibilicus]

Well, it looks we could be stepping back to the 1970s/1980s.

First, the Unions tell us, the British people, what we think!

Yes, they know exactly how we feel, that's right, all of us. And, more interestingly, is some sort of planned campaign of strike action on the horizon?

All I can say is get stuffed. We all know why the unions fear these cuts, because without the bloated public sector, they have very little reason to exist. Sure, their members can be employees of private companies( if the company chooses not to ban employees from union membership), but let's be honest, there's no real political clout that way.

No, the unions know the big public sector is a tool for them. Think of it like a business, but the bigger the public sector, the more money the company makes. Of course, who cares if any proposed planned campaign of strikes hurts the economy, does public sector employees no favours and ultimately does more harm than good?

If something does materialise, I actually say good. Perhaps this government can finish what Maggie started, Round 2 anyone?
