Just another point about that militant left, you keep on about. Without unions, kids were allowed to do manual jobs, employers could fire workers for no reason, pregnant women could be fired. Employers could have dangerous working practices etc.

When I worked for someone else, I was well paid through basic salary and commission + bonuses. I worked in sales. But the lower paid people in the office, like administrators never received the same bonuses that I did, and without them, I would have been unable to do my job as well.

Now I employ 2 people, and their whole salaries are based on commission. I pay them a basic, but they have to pay me back on a monthly basis before they start earning bonuses. Let's not pretend that commission is a universal thing that low wage workers get. They don't.

Unions like the welfare state and the nhs were created for all the right reasons by truly great men. Sadly theyve grown into something completely different. They became bloated ridddled with corruption, self interest and pojnt scoring. Virtually bankrupting us a few times over the years. The nursing and teaching union have become so much this way theyve failed to weed out the enormous incompetence and malpractice , this results in a minute fraction of bad teachers and bad nurses being weeded out , warned and sacked. in the end the masses suffer.


as for your point about commission.No one pretended it was universal? however there is commission, rewards, bonuses and promotions available to a vast majority of honest hard working decent people.
