The winter of discontent was probably the one event over any other which proved that some unions had too much power and there was a reaction against that in the years which followed, but the pendulum has swung even further towards the employer/shareholder since then and, in my view, a degree of correction is needed as much now as it was in 1978.
I agree on switch of power, it has swung to far towards the employer, but I think that is changing as there is a low unemployment and a shortage of good staff.
