I'm sure that Ms Morton and her colleagues are sincere
I'm not. Ms Morton and her colleagues are extremely highly paid executives, with 6-figure salaries, grotesquely generous pensions, etc etc, all from members subscriptions. They are up there with bankers in terms of sheer greed.

They run unions whose raison d'etre is conflict between a workforce and their employer(s). No conflict; no union.

So it follows, as night follows day, that in order to preserve their huge salaries, especially their enormous pensions, union leaders must create and promote conflict so as to maintain a grateful membership to pay for it all, in some cases without the option to refuse. So they do just that.

I understand. The fact is that people will always feather their nests at others' expense, given the opportunity. Think MPs' allowances, bankers' bonuses; it's a long list.

It's the nauseating bull**** that Ms Moreton and her kind come out with that makes me puke.
