Johnnies-Come-Lately
More readers from Falkirk have been in touch about the GMB poaching campaign.
To a man - and a woman - readers are completely cynical about the union's motives and have raised the obvious questions:
"Where have the unions been all these years"?
"Why did the unions keep their members in the dark about the huge pay gap between traditional male and female jobs?"
So, it just goes to show that people are not daft - generally speaking - their heads don't button up the back.
Even if that's the way that unions have treated their members - over equal pay.
The point is that many employers continue to see the unions as a soft touch - more interested in party politics than the day-to-day priorities of ordinary members.
The unions are 'Johnnies-come-lately' in the cause of equal pay - they pulled their punches at crucial times - and to many people they are part of the political establishment.
Our advice is to give union poaching efforts what they deserve - short shrift.
