Even further back in the day: Men used to queue at the dock gates. A chargehand would appear before the shift was due to start and chuck a handful of tickets in the air, the men would fight sometimes to get the jobs available. Only the "excellent" ones got in.
As long as the owners could keep the dockers fighting amongst themselves they would never have to raise their pay.
If teachers spend all our time bickering amongst ourselves we will stand about as much chance against this ruthless and dishonest government as...shall we say...the People's Front of Judea?
