Safety in numbers. Unions are vital to the everyman. I think their significance will come to bear in the next few years when the UK sees an economic downturn. Those who are members of a union will be very glad of their existance.

Ceri, the NUS never, ever organises anything and it most certainly doesn't push for strikes. In fact it keeps a lid on any action. Its Labour controlled after all.

Well when I was in uni the NUS stood in the way of doing anything. They were so lame as well when it came to organising opposition to fees. They could have been defeated if the NUS wasn't dominated by New Labour careerists.

My uni NUS was shite that is fair. The only time you noticed them was if there was a national campaign, and to be honest it was always a bit of a damp squib.
The age of the inactivist is upon our bloated middle-class comfortable souls and it sucks. I wan tmilitant activism. I really can't wait for the economy to go bust. I want to see people out on the streets and giving a shit for a change.

Well look around matey. Here's a few things to perk you up:
Feb 15th was the biggest political demonstration in British history.
The posties have just one the first unofficial strike in about 30 years and the firefighters are taking unofficial action.
Bush is coming in two weeks and the Met are shitting it. They put expected figures at 60,000 and they ALWAYS play them down.
I think we're definitley entering a new period and I don't think I'm being blindly optimistic.

the Posties won, but look how the firefighters won: The 'Employers' just lied through thier teeth!
The bloke in charge of the PO is a crook and a Blairite. he'll weedle his way round somehow then shit on them.

I fully support the firefighters. They're semi-striking - doing nothing for their employers, yet still serving the public. I know it doesn't have as much impact, but they have my total support, because there's nothing unfair about what they're doing.
Royal Mail aren't stupid enough to shit on them again just yet. They'll wait until Christmas post is over before they do it again.
