Justice for Men & Boys 
Its very good. The public sector was hit by this first. And of course the economic effects ( apart from the colossal financial cost of back pay to Councils such as Glasgow and Birmingham) are hidden as there is no profit and loss, just a constant need for more tax. The physical manifestation is of course the degraded physical environments as street cleansing, maintenance of public assets from parks and gardens to pavements, minor roads, refuse collection and disposal all suffer in large degree because the as the trained male staff left or retired the less attractive wages means a much less skilled workforce. So as time has gone on the service delivery has got steadily worse. Even where such things have been “outsourced”, because even these services are on contracts that reflect an expectation of a low wage. Of course for commercial businesses they can lose customers if they give poorer services or substandard goods, and go out of business or generate too little surplus to invest in expansion or development.
