Nor me, to my recollection.
I may have taken you up on something you have said, but I don't recall anybody having referred to you as such Al
Getting unionised has nothing to do with immigrants, who appear to take a lot of stick for something that has nothing to do with them
The Tories, under Thatcher, systematically took away our right to a say in the workplace, the Labour right and all who have coalesced with the Tories in order to hold office have continued her policies.
Ruthless employers deliberately using immigrants to drive down wages dates back at least as far as the Irish Famine, when coalowners used Famine refugees to drive down miners' wages.
If all immigration ceased tomorrow nothing would change - the right don't believe we should have a voice in the workplace - never have and never will.
It really doesn't help immigrants or your own image to blame immigrants for something that fas nothing to do with them.
