I spent 22 years in the electronics industry in various engineering
roles.During that time I worked for 3 major US firms.Strangely
enough,one in Scotland, One In England and the other In Ireland.
( there is a joke there somewhere ).
If there had been even the slightest possibilty of these plants
being unionised................the Yanks would have pulled the plug,
on any of them,and went elsewhere ( which they,re doing anyway )
So, now I,m back where I started,self employed and dependant
on my own efforts ,and not at the mercy of a******** !
I agree with the comments on women bosses,incidentally.That.s
been my experience in the past also.

OFFICIAL: Mr Rabbitte you,ve been claiming unemployment benefit for two years !
.Are you tellin' me you cant get a job ?
JIMMY: We,re a third world country-what can you do ?
