Yeah, right. It's got nothing to do with the fact the average worker
in China gets paid 67p a day! Are you volunteering to take on that
kind of wage to restore the manufacturing base of the UK?

France, germany, italy etc sitll have viable large scale car
manufacturers,
train builders etc. Hmm , wonder why that is. Could it be the workers
actually got on with doing their job instead of farting about on a
picket
line? I'm old enough to remember the strikes at Leyland and it was
just

so sad to see those cretins warming their hands over the oil drums
digging
not only their own career graves and that of their children, but the
whole british
car industry. The same could be said for various other blue collar
industries
in britain too.


The only reason that we have unions at all is because of crap managers. If
the people running a business treated the workforce as well as they wish to
be treated themselves there wouldn't be a need for unions.
