    The need is every present and necessary. America proves that beyond doubt.

    This isn't the States though.

    It's near enough to be a warning to anyone niave enought to think that unions arent necessary anymore and that corporations aren't constantly working with politicians to put downward pressure on workers.

    Got any examples to back up your point?

    A union has no place in training people, upskilling or anything like that. They are in the business of protecting existing fee-paying members welfare and renumeration. What would be the advantage on spending members money so that individuals could "upskill" and leave said union?

    Nor are they a recruitment agency.
