you said it brother i was a union member in the 70's and i'm still a union man just like in the song by the strawbs.
and its still them or us as far as i'm concerned.
i see what the greedy bosses are allowed to get away with today and i wish there were more unions to stand up for the low paid today.
why should the minimum wage have different amounts depending on age.a loaf of bread costs the same if your 16 or 26.you people go on about equality where's the equality in the minimum wage.
i see my son having to work 50 to 60 hours for a pittance theres no union to look after him,and do you know why because his greedy boss won't have the union in where he works.because the unions wouldn't stand for the way he treats them.
and if my son and his co workers complain there told to p*ss off up the road,i can always get an immigrant in to do your job.
you don't know the half of it sat in your nice comfy offices at your nice little pc's.
and i get sick and tired of hearing the same old mantra the brits don't want work,some of them do but not for a pittance.

anyway rant over.
