I do accept, BTW, that unions played a valuable role in improving rights for average employees.
"past performance is not indicative of future returns" .... while the history lesson is interesting, I struggle to see how it changes the reality of our economy becoming increasingly uncompetitive ..... central government and public services are part of the solution and like everyone else, need to trim some of the fat out of the system. We can no longer afford some of the flab that exists.... in the last week we have seen the silo'd menality of many of the players which does not bode well for a quick and flexible response to the hole we find ourselves in. We simply have a cost base in this country which is not sustainable.
whick?
i add that the PS cant spell
“Business” is not a homogenous entity. What you are talking about are people. Some people, both in business and in a personal capacity, will try to bend and/or break the rules. The prevalence of these activities depends on a number of factors ranging from legal deterrent, social acceptability and potential gain etc. People in business are no more or less moral or socially aware than those they employ.Where does curruption come from by and larger? from business wanting to bend the rules, to try to get around the laws of the land for their own greed.
see aboveFrequently leglislation is ignored by business where they can get away with it. Business has a responcibility to act morally, not just pay lip service to laws and bend them where possible.
Yes it was, look at her post.That is not what she was arguing? Look at her post.
What mattered was supply and demand. Just as it did as skill became increasingly important in the labour market of the 1920’s.There is a tendency to make straw men here and then break them down. It is really annoying. Lets keep this dissussion in context. we are talking about the origins of the movement for the betterment of workers rights brought about by worker orginisation since the agrivulutral revolution. It is irlivent to talk about the black death and the subsequent labour shortage and improvement in the remaining workers rights at that time and then make the assumption that this had any effect on the movement for reform 300 years later. It is stretching it to the extreme.
Here's some info on income level increase, with the counter arguements, between 1750 and 1850.That is about the most vague and nonsencical comment I have ever heard. If you try to ake a very vague and broad statement hoping some of it is factual without having the slighest grasp of the facts then go head. I an not prepared to enter into a mindless discussion with someone not if full grasp of the facts.
Actually if your going to be pedantic about it. its "can't".
Now Jimbob your loosing the smart a... stuff. Get back to loosing the central argument will you.
PS Capital I also.

The drop in infant mortality rates during the industrial revolution is will known. Try Google.
The next time you think about trowing around insults try spending three minutes checking the facts first.
what is loosing
Guys, we all need to lay off the personal stuff or this thread will be closed.
Despite the swipes that they get from the media about long holidays and high pay politicians work very long hours in high-pressure jobs with no job security. Nobody in their right mind would become a TD.I think we need people with business experience in the cabinet now, there seems to be an over representation of former teachers and lawyers in the cabinet, there is nothing wrong with this to an extent but hard business experience would be valuable, afterall in the eighties these people eventually got cabinet positions
loosing????
I don't care about peoples spelling but this thread has gone completely off topic just like the other one on plans to help the economy and no offence Television but you are strongly involved in both. Can we get them back on topic.
I am talking about the agricultural/industrial revolution 1750-1850. Black death has nothing to with it.
The Black Death has everything to do with improvements in work conditions for workers.
