Unions are run by far left bullies.
For someone that's never been in a union, you seem to know a lot about them.
FTR, since I've been in the bus industry, without exception, each and every shop steward I've had has been a right of centre, Tory voter. But then, if you'd been in a Union, you'd know your statement is utter b*llocks.
Every shop steward I've had, apart from one self serving cretin in London, have been anything but a bully, and have stood up for their member's right without any prejudice - and my last two shop stewards have gone above and beyond for me during my illness and time off sick. They're genuinely good good people. I've not been lucky, I've actually been in a union (and still am) and found this out myself. Unlike you.
I've got £75 a week from my Union every week that I am off sick, I've had free legal advice from my Union when it looked like the company were trying to force me out, I've managed to get an additional sickness plan through my Union, that after 6 months of being on it will cover me for pre-existing conditions, at a rate I could only dream of if I wasn't a member. They helped my keep my head above water when I was going through the toughest time.
Stop believing everything you read in the papers, and perhaps you may lose that chip on your shoulder that you appear to have developed.
And join a Union. One day, you may need one, but by then, it will be too late.
