Jump To Comment: 1If these workers don't get reinstated they will never work again as payee employees possibly anywhere in the world as they will be secretly blacklisted .
The moral of the story is don't trust the unions ,their record of appeasement is appalling.Some miners were never taken back after the strike was settled and the scabs that set up another union to pull the carpet from under the miners union soon found they to were expendable and were put on scrap heap.
There is something wrong with the world economy ,it is no longer sustainable, steel went ,miners went,farmers are going and now the defencless shirtless workers at the bottom are being played off against each other.
I hope these workers get reinstated and suggest anyone who trusts unions should read Ian McGregor "The Enemy Within"
