You are overlooking the artist (and I use the term very, very loosely) previously known as Sparktrader and Bignok. I have probably missed one or two other previous posting names. I'm sure you are aware that these posts will be deleted come morning but it's worth it even if 1 or 2 take heed.
In fact, I have just noticed that one of the more liberal and jovial Mods is 'lurking' as I type this but I appreciate they have to put their feelings aside and do the 'right' thing.
The Great Amnesty of 1986 was the most damaging blow.
Someone else mentioned unions - but one didn't need to be in a union to be a well paid tradesman, or even food-packer, when the labor-market wasn't flooded by those willing to work for peanuts. The "... won't do THOSE Jobs," always leaves out, "... for dirt-poor pay." We worked "those jobs" right up to the day we were replaced, and wages fell by over half.
