Mate this isnt the winter of discontent you know...

And as for Arthur Scargill... everything he said came true, every word of it.

But people conveniently forget to mention that part of it all.

And Ford should be grateful that BL spent half their lives on strike and when they were at work they produced shite like the Marina and Allegro.


Modern Unions operate in a much more 'sensible' fashion with some of the slickest lawyers in the game, if you have a genuine case you will have all the protection in the world and if you cant get your job back then you can be sure of a decent settlement.

People should think of union subs in the same way they pay Legal Protection cover along side their other insurances etc, its just an 'insurance' so if an employer tries to have you over you are protected.


The only other alternative is just to get another job.
