  PETER;
  On that very theme, there are not many lefty trade unions these days(sadly) lol
  
  but they can be replaced like govts with a little bit of work.
  
  they get re elected because like with govts, people go do down theL road of apathy.
  
  Like govts these leaders are elected by its membership, and csan be removed in the same way.
  
  you can also have a voice.
  
  
  I have served at many levels of the trade union from national to regiional to local and seen the good and bad practices.
  
  
  just looking at the N.U..R(NOW RMT) I recall 25 years ago attending the town hall where the N.U.R. national executive had called a national strike, in those days ballots were unheard of.
  
  I Got involved because i felt that to be wrong, and campaigned/pushed/lobbied for a more democratic system(long before maggie) and welcomed the introduction of the RMT ballot bef also before any action
  
  I also campaigned long and hard against any moves for all out strikes
  the N.U.M. PROVED that does not workl.
  
  it does look like the unions most who comply with thre law
  are to be heavily strap;ped up again, imn an already uneven playing field
