Don't bring up the Everard incident. I wronged Tiramisu on that one. If there was no dispute, he might have got off, but why get yourself into that position?

As to removal of the reps, I do not agree with you that Unite would in any way support it, for whatever reason. I have never believed in FTO's getting involved at any level, unless asked. For me, any union is a service provider, no more. If businesses offered the same protections to their works councils, that union recognition provided and the state recognised those protections, then why have a union? But the law and big business require a balance, however bad it may be. As others have stated, this dispute will be text book stuff in years to come.
