Unions as they are made to 'function' today are a waste of time and money. they are essentially a rort for delegates and a political grooming school for the offices.

Unions should be regulated to serve the members interests instead of the officials interests.

But you're very wrong wrt a throwback.... they are nothing next to the unions that helped make Australia a prosperous nation with an economy stimulating to Aus business. Unions served to improve the pay and conditions of workers when wages and conditions were the same as for workers in impoverished developing nations today.

While there are no unions to bring better pay for workers the economy stagnates. Its only when there is adequate disposable cash that people can buy consumables and grow the economy.

Agree with a lot of that Scott.

"Unions should be regulated to serve the members interests instead of the officials interests"

Having observed unions first hand Scott, it was ever thus !.
