I think in the UK there's still a collective memory of the damage [some] unions did in the '70s and '80s. I've no doubt unions are a positive thing, but when their power becomes so great (and often driven by the crusade of a single personality) that it stifles industry then I think there needs to be a balance.Me neither. As a Norwegian I'm quite frankly baffled when employees are arguing against unions. When I see what unions have done here in Norway to keep regular jobs up-to-speed with inflation ++ it really is a non-brainer. We don't even have a minimum wage, but still we have one of the lowest wage inequalities in the world.
