What is "society" when IA is considered?

I wonder what "society" is when IA is being considered? - (If it is considered at all, and I'm not convinced that the bassa cult care about society at all).

If only 16% of the private sector, and less than 60% of the public sector are in TUs, (and some of them are mandatory, such as BMA), then the majority of society are not in TUs.
What, then, is "society" to those contemplating engaging in IA?? I have no idea. In the past, when I was in a 100% pre and post entry closed shop, I might have known, but now??

Litebulbs
- on the inability of TUs to deliver the insurance, that was not my opinion, but the opinion of a bunch of Unite and GMB National officials at a dinner at last year's TUC.
On the trots and pinkos - it's a quote from Private Eye. Have you read some of Huw Benyon's stuff?? Not exactly "academic".
