I think this is partly why the unions in the UK have almost no power these days. Last time the unions got out of hand the government basically stripped all their power away to solve the problem.

I don't exactly know much about it as it happened before my time, so that may not be 100% accurate, but it's roughly what happened.


Thatcher became the first woman Prime Minister.
Thatcher stole the little kids milk.
Thatcher ass-rammed the Unions.
Thatcher survived my assasination attempt on her.
Thatcher handed over her mess to John Major when she resigned.


I don't follow America's Union action very much at all, but in the UK they really have little power (other than the railway worked union), I wish they had more clout. I'm constantly screwed becuase of the lack of Union influence in my work place.
