Of course there were, there were loads. Funnily enough the Union barons didn't like it when Thatcher went to war on their little fiefdoms, and they put up a fight. But after the miners' strike ended, there was a steady decline in days lost to industrial action. Until Labour got in of course, and began laying the foundations for the upswing we are now seeing.

When a worker pays his/her dues there comes with it a right to withdraw labour, whatever the consequences may be in the end.
A blinkered, self-serving attitude we fully expect to hear from dyed-in-the-wool trade unionists.
