This country has been in Boom since 1992 (or so) and now it is time for the bust. Anyone who thinks that we are starting to lift out of recession has been listening to politicians. We
might be 'bumping along the bottom' of the slump but my guess is that there is a lot more pain to come.
Unison appears to be stuck in 'boom' mode and, further, they have no option on their control panel for 'Accept some redundancies and try to negotiate the best interest of your members'.
Having had the big boom of mgmt dominating all and now the big boom of unions dominating all, perhaps (just perhaps) we might find in a few years time that we reach a state of balance? Nah.
