Is that any different to the Brexit situation?

Managment (EU)
Shop Stewards (UK Negotiators)
Union Members (Brexiteers)
Very different. The relationships in the analogy are quite different to the relationships we have with the EU.

Any of those employees can walk away if they don't like the terms on offer.

The can resign from the Trades Union.


The dynamics are totally different.
