[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 458797, member: 6969"] To balance that, I don't think the closed shop was in any way good for the country. A strike over something trivial like the wrong person changing a light bulb happened regularly. I remember the 70's strikes, rolling power cuts, rubbish stacked high in the street, winter of discontent etc. SOMETHING had to change, the country could not continue like that. Thatcher largely "fixed" that problem, but in doing so created many different problems so I am not saying she was right. I would NOT want to go back to how it was in the 70's. [/QUOTE]
