Look I might be putting myself over as Anti Union, but that is not the case. I think that there is a need for certain Unions more so than ever before as certain parts of the work force are getting shafted at the expense of white collar workers. An example; nurses in the UK in all hospitals are outnumbered by white collar workers that earn twice as much money than they, and for very little work. I personally am with the nurses union every time they vote for action on wages, I never saw any white collar worker looking after my Mistress/Wife while she was in hospital.

We have Unions tied down in the UK like I told you in an earlier post, but they still wield the same power as they had 60 years ago. The only difference is that they have laws to make sure that things are done correct, and the votes now are on fair and no block votes. Each individual has a vote and must vote and their membership is not so strict. During the British Airways strikes most of the people that voted against the strikes still worked during the strikes. Years ago they would have been black listed and thrown out of thier jobs, because all Union jobs were in closed shops, and thank god that is a thing of the past. Now it is a slap on the hand and being told, “Don’t do it again,” because the Unions cannot afford to lose the money in membership.

Yes big Companies make Governments and Unions topple them, and it’s the same the whole world over. Does that mean that the Government is corrupt, I think not? Does this mean that big business runs the Government, once again I think not and the reason is that man is greedy and politicians are only loyal to themselves? They might get one or two that they can sway but that is not a house full, and all political parties need the funds of big business to survive.

Unions in the UK in the 60s controlled the Labour Government because they were so strong and financed them. Those days are gone and although the Unions still finance the Labour Party, they now have to beg for bones just like the big company dogs.

The leader of the Opposition and leader of the Labour Party [RED Ed Miliband] is a Union man. He stabbed his brother in the back [who I might add is a lot better politician] to get that job, on the back of Union money, so what is he like?

This marriage between Big Companies, the Union and Government will never end, because they all need each other to survive.

Be well IAN 2411
