No one could argue that the original motives which prompted the formation of trade unions were entirely honourable. However, it could also be argued that, in recent times - in particular - some of their officials seem to have abandoned the original principle of protecting workers' interests in favour of attacking those of employers. As a former member, I feel disappointed because it reflects little credit on the movement. What's more, I'm saddened by the opportunistic use of the Olympics to gain an advantage.
