That was caused by underinvestment, high energy prices and the decline of Britain's power!!! :mad: :td:

If there was a union that tried to impose a pay award, it would weaken the company and would probably damage the company and affect its ability to compete and make profits which would result in job losses or worse.

People such as yourself really wind me up, you have no clue.
So why some companies are giving out large dividends then, also the government should be investing into the economy!

And look at how high the wages are compared to the skill set required to do the job and the disruption caused by the unions in gaining such high wages

The Unions did not kill those industries, underinvestment, bad management and bad products did, along with rising competition and the decline of Britain’s power!!

The Reason there is disruption on the tube is that the GLA would rather have a fight with the unions rather than co-operate with them!!
