how about the personal liberty to join a union and withhold labour? why is that in a different category to other personal liberties?
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.

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.
