On Twitter the other day, I mentioned the importance of unions. It is something that I have discussed before on here. Basically, I am of the view that unions support workers and if you are against unions, you are in essence against workers rights.
I suspect that there will be those who disagree with my interpretation of this view, but the case of P&O sacking workers to rehire labour at a lower cost, in my view, proves the need for decent workers rights.
I am in a union, and in my job, I have seen the difference in how those in a union are treated better than those not in a union.
