And taken as such.
Nothing "sinister" in the question, just that I used to be a hard-line economic rationalist and hater of unions who from the age of 18 voted for every conservative government that I had the opportunity to vote for. However my views have "softened" substantially since becoming a father. I would hate to see my children growing into a workforce that exploits them as I believe employers have been able to do since the introduction of "work-choices".
So the question is one borne of curiosity rather than malice.
