No doubt if UNITE lose their application for leave to appeal, the usual derogatory remarks will follow concerning the impartiality of the two most senior judges in the country.
Don't forget, we have a new government that is about to bring in huge cuts to public service employees' wages. A shot across the bows of one of the biggest unions in the country would not go amiss (well, it wouldn't miss, would it, as it was
