I am a trade union member, but I wouldn't want it to go back to what it was like in the 70's when the unions had far too much power.

I have a friend who went to the USA a few years ago to set up a specialist haulage company. But due to the unions refusing to let people multi task. The company folded, and they all lost their jobs...good old unions eh?
All I have said is thar radical reform is needed by any means, how it can be done is up to whoever reads this article, I am not targeting small businesses, but the poltical and weathy elite and the governments they back.

What happened in the 70s was not the trade unions fault, they were the side effects of the problem, most trade union members want decent pay and conditions (some did want left wing poltical change), but it is clear to see what has happened due to weakened union power.

My point is that if the government is no longer willing to represent the working people of the UK (and only the business, poltical and rich elite), then we need organisations like trade unions to represent our interests as well

If I was running a union, yes I would except changes to the workplace try to help the businesses in times like these, but not at the long term expence of our members and not without their consent
