Turley's offer to Skwawkbox and the Union was to retract and apologise and she'd drop the legal case. Unite instead chose to waste their members money on fighting it - the same Unite who were in favour of Labour fighting the antisemitism whistleblowers in court, by the way.
Unite in the headlines again after Len's successor Howard Beckett made prima facie racist comments about Priti Patel - now suspended from Labour and almost certain to be kicked out (and off the Labour NEC to boot). https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/may/13/unite-leadership-nominee-apologises-for-tweeting-priti-patel-should-be-deported
Again I have no problem with the union model in general but those arguing that the current model works need to be able to justify this kind of thing, or accept that reform is needed.

Most of what you've been saying comes across as "unions are bad and need changing", most of your arguments, which are fine if taken in this context, are "I don't like the recent leadership of the Unite union and disagree with some of it's recent decisions". That unite is the biggest union and donor to labour means that some of your argument applies to labour, but reform could easily be someone in charge that's less of a dick, when you seem to think it should be some kind of upheaval of all unions and how they work, which for the most part is helping workers.

Reads as if the union and the blog were sued together, not sure they had much choice in it.
