I do think Litebulbs usually holds reasonable positions - or at least is open to opposing perspectives, even if those differ from the views of others. And I absolutely agree that employees in lower paid, cyclical industries can benefit from collective representation.
But the belief that Unions are "above the law" is of considerable concern.
On the specific matter of the fake "mirror" PCCC.org website filled with porn, set up by a BASSA rep in early 2010, it is my understanding that Unite have declined to support his defence; I would imagine these are the sort of people who benefit from monies donated to crewdefence, which also does not publish any accounts.
