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.

Well thats the clincher isn't it. What is "as well as they wish to be
treated"?
We'd all like to just sit at home and be mailed cheques every month but
lifes
not like that and part of being an adult is realising that you can't
get something
for nothing and get away with making a mess and suffer no consequences.

Its a lesson that the RMT and Aslef don't seem to have learnt yet.
