I totally agree that there is a place for unions but I also think that there should be some distance between them & our political leaders. Lobby by all means but using money & favours to gain special treatment is over-stepping the mark in my mind as significant conflicts of interest can easily arise. I also have concerns about Momentum & what influence they have over Corbyn & it would appear that Tom Watson shares this view. I also agree about zero hours contracts & as far as I am concerned they cannot be scrapped soon enough.
