Why Do Trade Unions Not Support Their Members?

With Scargill back briefly in the news this last week, I was forcibly reminded of how dreadfully served the miners of the UK were by having this man as their leader!

A conversation with a friend last night brought up how the trade unions have singularly ignored the threats to their members of the mass importation of foreign labour. (Still I suppose that these late arrivals will become their new membership!)

We finally concluded that British workers have been ill-served by trade unions in the past because, far higher than their interests, was the 'hard left agenda' of so many union officials.

Today, that agenda has shifted to a 'liberal left one'. Either way, the workers still lose out!
