Free Trade Unions

Having trade union reps on the premises, and giving them an office with a phone and an email address, all of that is one thing.

But having trade union reps employed as such by, say, the NHS or the Council? You wouldn't want your union rep to be employed by the company if you were in the private sector, would you?

The larger unions, about which we are really talking here, are loaded. Let them make use of the independence with which that wealth provides them. State funding of trade unions is as pernicious as State funding of political parties.
