The Unions should be fucked off. What place do they really have in society now?
Are you saying that there are no longer any working people? Are you saying that labour exploitation is no longer a reality?
Union membership has fallen as the national industrial complex has shifted shape dramatically since the 80's. The lack of unions in the largest industries within the UK is down to a culture of anti-unionism and increasingly informal relationships to low grade employment means it's harder for workers to organise.

Union membership has been in steady decline since 1981 yet they continue to wield significant power in the only viable political opposition the country has. It makes no sense, it's just not representative.
There are better ways to think about the protection of worker's rights.
