I've seen both the good and bad side of unions. Bad, in terms of representing people who have deliberately chosen not to follow organisation rules but I've also seen others persuade guilty parties to admit their offences too so it's not that straightforward. Similarly, I've seen them defend innocent workers exceptionally well against belligerent managers who have a chip on their shoulder against somebody. I've seen them represent people who've been bullied, exploited, assaulted and harassed (both sexually and racially). Unions perform a very important activity in this society and without them we'd still all be living like it was Wigan Pier.

There's plenty who still wish we were.
Maybe they should read GO's book or be transported back in time to be a guest at Mr & Mrs Brookers lodgings.

Nice tripe, shame about the constant black thumbprint in the bread.

Which is arguably what many lawyers do in some cases. :wink:

Completely agree on this, though. Of course unions are not perfect – no organisation or company etc is.
