I must point out that in the '50s it was necessary to be a Trade Union member - if you weren't then you didn't get a job. Every factory was a Trade Union Shop - legally I believe. Mrs Thatcher did away with that law I think, and gave freedom of choice to the individual. Didn't affect me at all - 18 years in the RAF and then an expat, in the US and ME
