There needs to be flexibility in the workplace and that never happens when unions are involved.[/quote
Agreed billko
It is simplistic to blame Unions for current job losses. I would image most of the multinational companies relocating to cheaper economies are not unionised. We were delighted when these companies located in Ireland some years ago. They came here because there was a young, educated, cheap workforce. They are now locating to different countries which can provide them with just that.
Funny the way most of the people who lost thier jobs to multinationals werent in unions...they've only got themselves to blame when the foreign firms up sticks and go somewhere cheaper.
Speaking of Multinationals - If unions had been involved in DELL it would have been closed years ago. The reason it stayed open so long was because the workers were flexible and productive. We are not going to be able to compete on a manufacturing basis in the future because of cheap labour abroad but in a case like this, providing a fast and efficient service would have saved them - but when unions are in the way - that will never happen !
Very interesting take on private sector employment!! We cant all work in the public sector you know! We all cant be insulated
Unions also represent private sector workers you know!

For your information I work in the private sector and am not in a union.
And what use did it do them in the long run?
The unions werent there and they still closed.
To my mind you're talking a load of rubbish my friend..
Well I'm not represented by any union, and am earning little more than minimum wage.Maybe you would prefer life without representation where most of us would be earning little more than the minimum wage.
now public and private sector workers are at each other's throats. ....
