Well I never mentioned anything about union members.

The union hierarchy on the other hand give vast donations to one political party and have the kind of influence that can install a person who has to choose between listening and opening his eyes as leader of that party over the wishes of the majority of members of that party.

None of which gives a union that represents council workers the legitimacy to attempt speak for the public, as Unison did in this case.

Its only connection with the issue is the fact that some of the employees of the leisure centre will be Unison members, but this wasn't enough for Unison. It claimed that the measure was "sick" and an "insult" to the public.

Coal Mines Act 1842 came about because of a Parliamentary Commission of Enquiry.

Unions are very good at claiming credit for things that weren't actually their doing. ;)

A very good idea in my opinion, why waste energy? Sounds to me like someones just shouting for the sake of it.

I believe the 'degradation' that really stuck in their craw was that women were pulling the coal carts naked from the waist up..which proved to be more shocking than the actual conditions underground.

Now I got that little bit of info of a documentary I was idly watching and flicking channels one evening last week but I can't remember who the presenter was or on what channel I came across it.Sadly I fell asleep.
