If anything like a workhouse was to happen again one of the biggest hurdles would be the unions. They would say why should their members be undercut by those who work for 'nothing'. The unoins, in the early 80's were very much against the YTS. I was employed under that, and that got me though the next 20 odd years diong the same kind of job. Also lying in hospital in the mid 80's the very old man, in the next bed, got out of that bed, in the middle of the night, saying I'm not staying in the workhouse anymore.
