This triggered an argument with my parents. It can be boiled down to: Me- Generally oppossed to strikes, glad the unions were depowered back in the 80s. Them- All corporations are evil if they could they wouldn't give us holiday/sick pay and children would still be working down the mines etc. They don't seem to grasp that if unions ran the country they would be just as bad as the corporations are now. |

Ceri How can you be oppossed to unions? The only people oppossed to unions are the BNP. People have the right to organise themselves democratically and withdraw their labour. Otherwise you have fascism. |
||||||||

Ha ha, I don't believe the unions are in (all) the workers interest as much as people make out. They're often responsible for violence on workers who for financial reasons can't afford to take a days strike (or agree to take semi-voluntary redundancy). The very real threat of getting murdered (or at least a severe kicking) by your co-workers because you are not in favour of a strike sounds a lot nearer to fascism than democracy to me... Thats without even beginning to consider the mob ties in America and the diffculty unions used to cause with getting work for travellers and "outsiders". I know they're closed now, but you would *never* of got a job on Barry docks in its heyday unless you were a son of a union member. Tighter than the masons the dockers unions were... "The only people oppossed to unions are the BNP." Unless I'm getting my history muddled up, the conservatives were never great fans of them either... I'm not opposed to the idea of better conditions for workers and more leave, shorter hourse etc. but I'd rather see it done through legislation brought about by a democratically voted in government than by Stalinists like Scargill. In their favour, I do like the sculpture outside the general union headquarters in London. Perhaps I'm merely envious as there is no union equivalent for IT professionals (BCS doesn't count IMO). Can you begin to image how much we'd have the country over a barrel if the IT staff of the country walked out for an across the board 10% pay rise? |

Who has been threatened with murder for crossing a picket line? A Royal Mail representative wheeled that one out the other day on C4 news and when Jon Snow asked for evidence he couldn't produce any. If there were no unions your pay would be significantly less (OK, when you were working you sap on the taxpayer you!). Even if the IT secotr is not unionised a strong unionised workforce across the country has a general effect on wage levels. As for legislation, unions force governments to enact such legislation. Employers don't give workers pay rises out of the goodness of their cold, hard capitalist hearts. They do so becuase workers demand them. As for the dockers. all you had to do was join the union. The practice you speak of ensured a strong union which was able to fight for the interests for ALL of its members. Nothing wrong with that. |

There hasn't been serious violence in the recent bouts of strike. However, there's a famous (UK) legal case from the miners strikes where three strikers threw a paving slab off an overpass onto a car that a non-striking coworker was in(the outcome was that the murderers were not guilty as the counsel for the defense proved that these comparatively uneducated men could not of possibly worked out the physics needed to time it perfectly- sickening really as the physics involved in walking are far more complex... it's just one of those things the brain instincitvely "knows"). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That was an isolated case. You can't take one case and generalise. Besides, governments do far worse. What about how the police and security services were used during the miner's strike? I interviewed a woman who's female friend took a beating from the police for just being on a picket line. |
||||||||
|

You state unions are "often responsible for violence on workers who for financial reasons can't afford to take a days strike", then state one notorious case from the early 80's. There's nothing like sweeping generalisations, eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And none of them can really afford to strike. |
||||||||
|
|

Yeah, the Met police were bussed into many mining villages and ran a campaign of violenece and intimidation. They even produced little stickers that they'd post up around town glorifying the battle hardness of the Met boys - not unlike certain hooligan football 'firms'. |

No, that's an example of someone being killed, in this country alone... There are far more examples of generalised violence. My father -who, incidentally, is now pro union and was not pleased to discover I had advised the other students on my course (I'm student rep.) to boycott a strike- and a collegue both very narrowly escaped a kicking from a union gang when he worked as a furniture mover. Fights often kick off at picket lines and I'm not talking about agent provocateurs- the french truckers port blocking last year resulted in at least two fights when frustrated people (who, as most victims of strikes are, had bugger all to do with the cause of the strike) tried to cross the line. Sure, in most cases trying to cross a picket line you'll just get jeers and maybe tripped up or pushed, but even that is hardly pleasant- it seems to detract somewhat from the idea of choice on the part of the worker. Jonesy, with regard to "joining the dockers union" unless you were a docker's son they wouldn't let you join the union in the first place! There were real snags for people who lived in Barry who were not, "in the family" and hence couldn't get work. Parents of people I've worked with suffered this. Come on Ecnadniarb and Promo, where are you guys? :P |

I don't see that a few rare examples of picket line violence are enough to justify your anti-union position. There are fights in pubs every weekend but you wouldn't say pubs should be banned. Or football violence is not enough to justify banning football matches. |

I crossed a picket line last year, they didn't turn nasty until I was about 50 yards away and when I turned round and started towards them they all ran round the corner |

Well, I'm off to a union meeting in 5 minutes. Should be interesting to see if the "big bosses" of the NUS try to get us to advise students on our courses to strike over something this year. It'll be fun trying to talk people out of it... ah the games, the gamessssssssssss >;) |
