It is not beyond the wit of man to come up with a fresh approach to looking after employees rights, non union based.

Living standards are no longer relevant?.. I'm sorry I can't agree with that.
I'm not sure how they can be considered corrupt.
Maggie most certainly didn't have to do what she did and outsource coal making millions unemployed.
If it ain't broken don't fix it, the use of unions to liaise is a solution that can and should work perfectly well. Nobody has an advantage if there are clear rights and contractual obligations in place.
