You don't remember the 1970s do you.

The 1970s entailed the Labour Party making the first moves at
globalisation and lowering real wages. And then blaming the Trade Union
movement for trying to resist this. Rather successfully, it seems, but
that does not make it the unions' fault.

The unions have always been keen on trying to have employers retain
jobs that don't exist any more.

Possibly, but that's a completely separate issue.
