UK union leader Bob Crow dead

The leader of the Rail Maritime and Transport (RMT) union Bob Crow has died at the age of 52. Although I feel sorry for his family and friends, his style of industrial negotiation belonged to the 1970s instead of the 2010s and I will not be sad to see the back of him. His style and approach allowed outdated notions of what a malign influence unions are to persist and I believe that as a result he did the union movement a major disservice.

I hope he is replaced by a more moderate leader and there can be positive changes in industrial relationships in the rail industry.
