You'd think it were a little known fact it seems, as people take everything for granted. But if it wasn't for Trade Unions, (to name a few) you wouldn't have:

• A contract of employment
  
• Redundancy Payments
  
• Equal Pay
  
• Equality
  
• Minimum Wage
  
• Maternity/Paternity Leave
  
• A minimum annual leave entitlement
  

The list really just keeps going on and on.

Sometimes people are far too quick to take in the negatives which Sky News or Murdoch rags spout out about them. I know I'm certainly thankful that generations past have stood up and have been counted for what is right, and what we all deserve. I'd have been down a pit before I was 10 otherwise.
