Extreme 1: "workers" get paid loads of money and don't have to do
any
work.

Extreme 2: businesses pocket the proceeds of slave labour.

With 1, there's nothing to sell, and it collapses.

With 2, there's no one to buy anything, and it collapses.

I'm all in favour of cooperation, but on this group everyone seems

Defeating the odious bully Crow != defeating "the workers".

referring proposals for legislation to ban strikes etc, rather than an
individual.

OK then, defeating the trades unions != defeating the workers.
