I think we are going round the houses a bit here AB and getting nowhere fast.
A slightly different thought, but one thing I would say when you talk about lazy employees, fair play, the right to strike, getting out of holes, etc. etc. is that nurses and other health professionals WILL NOT GO ON STRIKE. (Heaven forbid that they ever did - it is against their professional ethics and core principles). What you also may not realise is that a lot of effort and time is given by staff which goes unpaid.
When you talk wholesale about lazy employees AB it really does make me cross - we have obviously lived in different working worlds. Many people would not last five minutes in the environment that many NHS staff work in, so please stop referring sweepingly to lazy employees.

Re: Union Scaremongering
OH! I have hit a sore point, sorry if it has upset you Aerolor.I was not just refering to NHS, in fact I did not mention any profession.
Can I add that several years ago I did appear on BBC 2 saying that Nurses deserveed a 10% increase in their salary not the 5.4% that they were being offered, as the jobs that they do often go without a thank you from people whom they serve.
I agree with you, heaven help us if they ever do go on strike.
