Here it is:




I read an interesting quote taken from a programme about the British workplace the other day:

Quote:
"In 1995 the average chief executive of a big British company earned 44 times more than the average British worker. Today it's 88 times as much."

The employers shouldn't be demonised. But nor should the workers. In recent decades the balance of power has shifted further from workers and towards employers than it has in the previous century. There is a class war. It's quiet and it's couched in unwarlike language, but do not doubt it is being fought. By them.



Here's another interesting little clip.

What have the Unions Ever Done for Us?
