Looks like the Govt have chosen the site of their first full engagement with the unions.

The next battle should be legislation to break up super-unions

They need to start with one where the public is already reasonably well informed of the problem and where the problem (a massive pension deficit) will be picked up by the taxpayer if it's not part privatised.

I think this is the best way to start the ball rolling as it is winnable and in a relatively short timeframe.

I don't think they can take on the RMT with the Olympics in the foreground so it'll be interesting to see how this progresses but you are 100% right, ultimately the super unions have to be dismantled and shown for what they are.

ban government/taxpayer grants to unions to put an end to the squalid corruption of the labour party funding the unions with taxpayer money and in turn getting union kickbacks.

The pension deficit will be picked up by the taxpayer if it's privatised anyway? Otherwise no one in their right mind would take a share.
