These are the facts, so everyone should digest this before pontificating on what might happen next.
I hear what your sayingand agree with you, but then you go on to pontificate on what might happen next

However, i share this opinion. If UNITE are busted now, or after the appeal, they'll lose all credibility to run a strike and more and more employers will run up against them. And more and more employees will wonder exactly what they pay their £xxx/year subscription. I think UNITE are now in a very precarious position.
I can't see the CoA overturning the decision - the precident has been set in the metrobus case last year and to overturn this decision would affectiely mean a law change. This is likely to have to go to the supreme court to do. Will UNITE go that far ? Can they afford to ? Can they afford not to ?
