Mairt,

If there was a protest march/strike that could be organised to hurt the union leaders, then I'd be the first in line. But for now they're the only body able to represent 'working class' people. There will be a reckoning for the current union hierarchy in time.

The banking sector needs to be rebuilt, not restored. If that means that democratic governments have to learn not to rely on them quite so heavily then so be it.
