“I CAN’T understand why anyone wouldn’t be in a union, but I was brought up in a culture of trade unionism. Kids today are not. You’ve got zero-hour contracts, you’ve got workplaces that are not the same as they used to be in the pits or the shipyards, where industrial communities used to socialise together.
