Let me add to the examples given. Last year, Unite the Union, one of the largest unions in Britain, was embroiled in a damaging internal dispute. Members of Unite alleged bullying, intimidation, victimisation of dissenters and a culture actively hostile to women. Some staff were on rolling fixed-term contracts, denied job security, and when they spoke out, they were ignored. Eventually, they voted to go on strike—not against an external employer, but against their own trade union. This is not hypothetical. It is not ancient history. It is what happens when those with power inside unions go unchecked.
