The main problem is greed. Shown at times by both sides but of late mainly by employers. The difficulty is, trying to sift out those employers jumping on the bandwagon and cutting for cuttings sake and those in trouble.
Many workforces are now being shafted because they have helped the company out with pay freezes and cuts to Terms and conditions. Some companies saw it as sign of weakness rather than strength and have come in with further cuts despite making more profit than forecast and paying CEO's record salaries.
It's no wonder some people are saying enough is enough.

This isn't a general thread though. It's a very specific one.
Stop referring to Union(s) then and stick with BASSA...
I don't think we need better legislation just better unions. Theres too much representation of their political ends and not enough of their members.
Agreed to a point. I think many Unions have excellent local representation and that is where most agreements are made.....As for the higher echelon....No argument.
