as far as I'm aware as a civil engineer we don't have a union
if we do, none of the engineers I know belong to it, and it does nothing.

Do you feel over exploited though?
Could you do with surf breaks instead of tea breaks?

I don't, and I doubt many of friends in the industry would say they were either
my mrs as a structural engineer is, but that's because of people being on mat leave (so increased work load) and the company as a whole has had a load of redundancies and a 10% pay cut. If they were to go on strike then the company would crumble, more than it is anyway due to lack of construction projects.
