Stagnant wages due to lack of union power. Countries with strong unions are more equal and stable. Britain is the most unequal country in Europe except Bulgaria. The poorest third of the population of eastern Europe is richer than the poorest third of the UK population. There is a direct link between the most restrictive anti union laws in Europe in Britain and the low standard of living for millions. Thatcher's legacy lives on.
