interesting if this is a real email.
the only one of those points which even vaguely holds water is the one about anti strike legislation.
and on that - if personal liberty is important to neo liberals (which they say it is), how about the personal liberty to join a union and withhold labour? why is that in a different category to other personal liberties?
these people make no sense.

Entrepreneurs have personal liberties. Workers are resources to be exploited.
You're quite right, of course. An employment contract is a negotiated transaction but somehow Tories fail to see the rights (and the right to group together to bargain more powerfully) of the employee in that transaction.

Isn’t the point that the “right to strike” is really the right not to get fired for going on strike. It’s not solely a matter of personal liberty because it requires legislation to curb the employer’s liberty.
