Oh whoopee! What a plonker! You seem to be overlooking that it was
Harold Wilson who took a successful truck and bus manufacturer and

had successfully bankrupted, then let the unions carry on as before ...

You *really* should do some proper research. The idea that the unions
alone were responsible for the demise of the UK car industry is so far
from the truth as to be laughable.

Stokes was a simple asset stripper, in essence. Not in the least bit
interested in manufacturing.


Unions are a very good idea in any well run industry. Allowing management
a convenient way to negotiate etc with their workforce. As all the
successful companies know only too well.



Well a very few places where I've worked in the past they didn't have
Unions as they were very well run companies. And if a company is well
run there're shouldn't be a need for a Union thats just a needed
response to the **** poor management that sometimes still prevails...
