unfortunately
As with a lot of these sorts of things I agree with Unions in principle but in practise they often weld power in exactly the same way as the "evil bosses" they try to rail against

Really?
These days they mostly look as though they're pissing in the wind.

Yes really
The unions (certainly the smaller ones) do a lot of good for the general worker, unfortunately and this is viewed from the outside in Crow's case he blusters and threatens and seems to draw any public sympathy from his cause. Maybe its a PR thing but if we look at the recent case with Unite and potential vote rigging etc.
