What did the chartist movement come from? What motivated them? What did Lords, factory owners and government officials do to workers before eventually succeeded? Do you know the answers to the above? Until you do, you're missing out on important parts of British history. I do not think unions are an unadulterated good, and I think many times the law goes silly trying to make it hard for companies to weasel out of their agreements (which is where many of the laws benefiting unions come from), but to act like they don't ever do good things, you really have to have not looked at what Great Brittan was like before they came about. You're looking at something without the perspective of history when you look at the state of modern labour without looking at it's history and thereby missing 90% of their reasons for doing what they do the way they do it. Lots of the structures and behaviors are there to combat the shenanigans of the companies employed against the workers in the past.
