Well done Rifleman, will you be banning the fledgling organisation being set
up as we speak, to protect the Armed Forces and their dependents?
Have you noticed the people working in the fields seven days a week,
fourteen hours a day in high summer?
NO!, why not?
Because they banded together to force their employers to stop exploiting
them.
Do you wish to see those days back again?
Hunger is a great forcer, you should try it sometime!
no one forces people to join the army,
Try saying that when conscription starts again.
they can

They can but why should they?
I can remember when I walked out of one job and into another and then back
to the first job when the gaffer upped my wages by a two bob and hour/ an
extra four quid a week, it sure made a big difference to my life.
there is over 1.68 million vacancies in the

Most of them in non jobs or in shit waged jobs or poor working conditions.
, plus the social state so no one is forced to do anything.
Oh! the social state, the big un:-)
No more poor houses for us, we got the social state.

Unions are

That has got to be the biggest oxymoron of all time.
We only have a stable society because we have trade unions.
We have a five day week with weekends because we have trade unions.
We have an NHS because we have Trade unions.
We have law and order because we have trade unions.
We don't have food riots in the streets because we have trade unions.
If your beef is with trade union bosses then say so.

It is odd. Many who believe that individuals should be free to charge
whatever the market will pay for goods and services, and withold them
from those who are not willing or able to pay seem to be unwilling to
apply this free market principle to workers.
Moreover, those who are content for employers to group together to fix
prices are completely against workers grouping together to obtain
better rates of pay or better working conditions.

Trade unions are a disruptive socialist waste of time, there recent historuy
shows us Rail Strike, Fire Fighters strikes, works to rule, closed shops,
Postal strikes, Bin mens Strikes, Print workers strikes, Dock workers
strikes, Coal Miners strikes,They are behind the gross overmanning which
lead to the destruction of the car plants, ship yards and coal mines. They
hate democracy, It the TUs who are paying to keep New labour in power yet
its the same TUs who are saying people who join right wing partys should not
be allowed to work in public service. The Army does not need TUs I know cos
I served in the army for 22 years. I dont have a problem with
professional associations to do wage barganing but at the very least it
should be illegal to strike or disrupt public services. Just for your
information re law and order it was the rioting miners who murdered that
taxi driver, it was the rioting print workers who caused 30 million pouinds
worth of damage, It was the Trade unionists who DIRECTLY caused the food
shortages in the 1970s, it was the same unions who caused the power cuts in
the 70s that caused hundreds of premature deaths among the elderly. It was
the unions that caused the public deaths crisis when the bin men struck
leaving the rubbish to rot in the streets in during a hot summer.. Stable
society?? how can they create a stable socieyty when they duisrupt public
service and mail, road and transport systems?. even as I type on the news
the signel men are now balloting for strike action to disrupt the rail
newtwork.

No, trade unions should not be banned, but maybe we should make them
financially responsible for any costs incurred by their actions (and open to
actions by, in this case, travelling passangers).

It serves as a small reminder of the the crap the general public
had to put up with in the pre Thatcher days.
He's an innumerate authoritarian freedom hater too. There are 1.68
million *unemployed*.
Not vacancies.
ISTR John Hutton giving the figures out late December and vacancies
were 600000. Leaves a shortfall of a million jobs. Or 300000 jobs if
you take only those signing on for benefits which I understand have
gone down by about 26000 this month.

I think what Gaz was suggesting was the removal of the legal immunity
of official trades unions from such civil action, to reach the situation
you seem to be describing.
Not a chance. If anything they should be stronger. As things stand, they
are like guards dogs with no teeth.

Yes, Trade Unions have special rights in regard to this, but only if they
follow the proper procedures (which is essentially what Thatcher forced them
to do)....
Gaz
I dont think Maggie ever wanted to ban trade unions, just for them to
represent their members, not use their position to bring about the socialist
paradise through industrial unrest.

Which would be tantamount to making official strikes illegal.
I don't know about you, but if I see a viciously barking Alsatian, I
wouldn't hang around to see if it was dentally challenged!

Yup all those idle closed shop, union only work to rule, militant, three day
