The wrong sort of chaps have nothing but the unions, for which they
have to pay membership fees, and which usually fail anyway, because
their leaders are bought off by the right sort of chaps.

Damn , and I forgot my violin...

It seems to me that the objection isn't to people looking after their
own interests, but to the concept of the wrong sort of chaps being in
a position to do so.

The 1970s called ,they want their rhetoric back.

I don't see any difference between high up bankers and the unions. They both
have others by the balls and expect unrealistic settlements for doing a
lousy job or less work. At least the bankers can be let go at the end of
their contracts however , golden payoff or not, and the whole bank doesn't
go on strike because of it.
