Thatcher, history will show...

Them particular professions normally enjoy good wages or pensions, so less reason for them all to strike.

Unlike junior doctors and tube drivers their not on great wages or perks when compared to the police or army.

Do you think sickness provision, a maximum working week, overtime, holiday pay, equal pay would have been given freely if people hadnt have fought for them for over 100 years.

Because of the pain others have gone through in the past employment law has vastly improved - all I'm saying because of that there is no need to strike in this day and age.

Your either on the wind up, or particularly thick.

rightly or wrongly this is my opinion which I'm entitled to. Can I suggest you keep your personal insults to yourself.

1. Isnt that a volte face from you now?

2. I would argue that with certain things like zero hours contracts, equal pay still not achieved for the different genders amongst others, capitalism still isnt giving up all that it can. If it wasnt for unions the famous Monty Python sketch wouldn't have been a farce.

3. I thought you were doing the classic wind up of posting 1-2 sentence pithy answers, so I sincerely apologise. Your beliefs though - wow.

Maybe it's due to your privileged upbringing.

Employment law went backwards, in terms of workers rights, a year gone May when the last tranche of employment legislation became law. It's an awful lot harder to get things to a tribunal AND the employee has to pay costs up front, getting them back if they win. And that's just one aspect. The White Paper was debated at length and, heatedly, in great detail at the Hobbit dinner table. Daughter #1 wrote most of it.

And then there's things like Sunday working for shop workers. When that was forced on the workers many of them got enhanced pay for the Sunday. Apart from the odd long serving, legacy, contract that has just about disappeared.

maybe you, like me, has a decent employer but if you think all is rosy for employees in the UK with regards to the new employment laws you are mistaken.

I think it's well overdue since you added salt and vinegar to the chip on your shoulder
