# Oh right the Fucking 'Get a Job in China/Russia/Some Random Psuedo-Communist Country' argument
you do well standing heckling Trade Union Marches - if you're quick you can heckle some tomorrow in London!

# Urf...unions
They'll be fourth against the wall come the revolution.
They served a purpose once (maybe some still do), but most are simply fiefdoms for those in charge, they have really served their members well, haven't they? Look at the twonk they helped put in power!

# I'd rather be in a Union than not in one
if you don't cross a picket line and you're in the Union you are covered by their lawyers against getting the sack - if you're not in a Union and don;t cross a Picket-Line you have no cover at all. The Union beaucracy is corrupt but that doesn't mean the structure is unsound it just mean we have to work hard about changing the leadership. Unlike the Labour Party the structure is now throughly un-sound from to top to the bottom.

# Here's the thing
I'd cross the picket line quite happily. If my employer pisses me off enough (not that they do) then I'll simply go somewhere else. I am not in a union as you can probably guess.
I am confused by your last comment. The Labour Party is un-sound IMO, and I would say that unions are equally un-sound.

# The roots of the Union are ordinary working people
the bureaucracy of the Union are un-sound no doubt as they are the same people who support the Labour party - we have to turn that around by seizing control of the Unions and bringing it back into democratic control. The Labour Party is too far gone for that ever to happen. The Unions need to stop supporting Labour and fund a working-class alternative.

# All you need to do is put the roots at the top of the power structure, and keep them there.
