  I work in the public sector working in health and fitness. Should my union be dismantled?

    Yes if you are a public sector employee. There’s not an owner or management for you to negotiate against

      There definitely is management. What about people like NHS staff? Nurses, porters, doctors working in public health, are they also disqualified from union activity?

        Yes. All public sector unions. There isn’t a true counter party in the public sector, the union is bargaining against the people. This leads to a perverse incentive where “management” essentially agrees to anything as there’s no benefit to disagree.
