In which case this whole affair, including the in-fighting between the Branches and between the Branches & Unite and between the JGS's of Unite itself along with the extremely low percentage poll that elected the new GS of Unite is a very poor indictment of the Trade Union process in general. Particularly as Unite is the largest union in the UK.

With the amount of power the unions have over their evidently misguided members' livelihoods then, just as with the CEOs and boards of public companies, the law must hold the leadership of unions to much higher standards than it currently does if we are to see stronger, more professional and truly representative unions in the future.
