[The Wanderer] :
That is probably the crux of the problem. There are some damned good
unions who look after their members'interests, don't adopt
confrontational stances at the drop of a hat, and actively
participate in promoting good business practices. Equally, there are
some pretty poor unions.

As Rover workers have found to their cost.
