    I wonder whether BarryW's selective memory can recall 1970 when Ted Heath posed the question ''Who governs Britain?'' the resounding answer was ''Not you Mr Heath''

    So I think the coaltion should be careful of pushing the Unions too far. Todays unions represent a quarter of the workforce.They have about 7million members.Unions are more important today than they have been since the 70's.They act as a voice for the workers ensuring it's not just the rich, privileged and powerful that get to be heard.

    It's a myth that Unions don't want companies to do well. Of course they do it's in their members interests.They are also there to ensure a fair minimum wage,better pensions,paid holidays ,safer workplaces and sick and compensation pay for injured workers.

    As for the right to strike it should be used as a last resort but that right should exist that's what democracy is all about.
