what does the future hold for the union if we,re privatised. would it cease to function. there are private firms that do not comply or recognise unions at all.

BT was privatised.
The CWU continues to represent members in BT...kind of. :nervous
I do think it will lead to fewer members though so a merger may be on the cards. :sad:

In the same way that we are affectionately known as ''the post office'' rather than Royal Mail to many of our customers.
Ahebban - anglo-saxon in origin - meaning 'Wages War'
