"Strange that, becuase part of the big fat cat earners milking the country dry are Union Leaders."

Oh I see - the fat cats are the ones on 133,000 a year.

The slim cats are the ones who make 3,000,000 a year.

Well thanks for clarifying that Arthur.


I happen to think that the responsibility working as an elected representative in a Union is comparable to the responsibility of working as an elected representative in government, so he's probably around 50,000 overpaid.

But then he runs a significantly bigger organization than most elected politicians.


In addition, try and remember that he represents the views of the Union. They vote on their own policy. He is their representative.


To say he is expressing a view in spite of the workers is wrong.

He is the mouthpiece for their position.

They oppose the cuts.

He's doing exactly what he's paid to do.
