I have never posted in this thread in the past but here goes.

I am no longer in the workforce ( retired ) however i spent half my time working on wages in a union and the other half on a salary sitting down every couple of years with my employer nutting out my remuneration package inc car and the like.

In all my time in the workforce it never ceased to amaze me to hear all the union haters go on and on and on sticking the boot in at every opportunity. These are the very same gooses who can't get there hand out quick enough to be afforded the same benefits that have been derived over the years through union involvement in employment agreements.

Pretty hypocritical to put the boot in then put the hand out.
