Just who the hell do the union leaders at the TUC think they are? They are now threatening strikes and civil unrest in response to the governments' intended cuts. It was their beloved Labour Party that got us into this financial mess and everyone has to accept that there must be cuts and yes, we will all suffer.
Perhaps the problem with these wretched union leaders is that they feel they must do something in order to justify their existence to their members (and to keep their salaries) when in truth, the union memebers will be amongst those who will suffer more if they agree to strike because they will lose pay.
The unions in this country have about 7 million members, just a mere drop in the ocean compared to the sixty odd million people who live here so why don't they wake up and take notice that they do not represent the views of the majority.
When I was working I joined one of the biggest civil service unions and I can tell you that their representatives were b****y useless when we complained about bad working practices and it was a nationwide complaint that they did s*d all about.
Any action that unions take will inconvenience a lot of people who will not necessarily share their views so I think they should 'put up and shut up' and let this government get on with things. They may not be what we want but you never know, perhaps the combined efforts of two totally different parties just might work.
