If you'd care to explain how trade unions can improve the life of cleaners by ensuring their job isn't a dead end one that'd be quite interesting to see. Personally it still sounds like you're in cloud cuckoo land writing about trade unions saving the world and leaving us all to a socialist nirvana where everyone is paid mega wages without having to pay more for everything, pays their 75% tax and gets their backsides wiped for them by a highly paid government employee on a large salary with a guaranteed final salary pension.

The life of cleaners can be improved by better wages and better conditions, which can be achived with unions, as shown in the victorian era and even now!
The so called "cloud cuckoo land" idea is acutally not a bad one,It's better than the one we have right now, I am not called for a socialist nirvana, just a better society!

Sorry I will corrent that, what they should do is demand better terms from Spacesavers to pay for better pay and conditions!
