I think unions today have very little standing in most industries which is why they sabre-rattle so much to get their fix of "we are important".

I loved it when the Gate Gourmet strike mongering Union reps got sacked by BA after they were proved wrong......show's they're not infallible or above reason.........

If it wasn't for the poor souls who lose their jobs at Peugeot UK I would say good on the French for sticking two fingers up to the union and saying enough is enough, we're off to cheaper and more realistic T&C climes......

As I said before, they're short-sighted and want everything now but when they've bled the firm dry or peeved the financial management off so much they then bleat when the company shuts shop.
