It would be a shame to dismiss everything that trade unions do.Some things like provide help,legal help,info over job issues can be very important.

Also let's not forget that Trade Unions did do some very good work in our history to address and obtain equality and fair working practices for workers.

I'm cross about the strikes because I feel that everyone is going to have to tighten their belts for quite some time in the future and postal workers can't expect to be exempt from all life's experiences.But it has to be admitted that we would not have some of the freedoms in the workplace if the unions hadn't done their best for their workers..We have all benefited because of unions
