Fancy another day off?

I can't quite get my head around what makes someone like Len McCluskey tick. The General Secretary of the UNITE union - possibly the largest in the UK with millions of members - seems to think it is a good idea to threaten industrial action by his members during the London Olympics. Just to add an additional headache for the organisers. Nice one Len. But he can't have really thought it through can he? It's hardly likely to endear him to most of his members is it? The fact that he has gone public with it says more about him than anything else, it shows what power can do. If he really believes in what he says then he has pretty poor judgement, if not then he;s just a self-publicist. He must have known it would make headlines, so take your pick. Blimey, even Bob Crow has done a deal to keep his members working during the Games!
And I've just remembered I am actually a member of Unite, I get no value from them, I became a member as an 'insurance' against my company being nasty to me, although on the one occasion ina  previous job when that happened, the union were absolutely useless. Ho hum.
