I thought I made it clear in my post
I'm very much a socialist, I think unions are a great idea and the fact that they were systematically crushed or slyly stripped of their powers by Thatcher and her cronies makes me really angry.

But there is a responsibility with the unions to act in a way which benefits their members first, but also takes into account the wider framework in which they operate.

5% per year in a recession is fucking ridiculous and they know it, but they are total cunts and they will keep pushing for it.

Sorry, you did
No-one has come out to support the strike is what I meant.

There are two reasons for this
1) The strike is badly thought out and will ultimately lead to a loss of support for the union in general
2) Everyone has gone home as it's after 5.
