I've posted often enough about Walsh's tactics. His intent is, and always has been, to break the union. There have been several occasions when there has almost been a deal brokered only for Walsh to scupper it.
I'm not a big fan of Simpson or Woodley of Unite but they've showed remarkable restraint at times in the way that they, and their members, have been treated by this obnoxious little sh--.
There's cleverer people than me can see the potential damage Walsh is doing.
A link I posted in another anti-union thread back in March that is still relevant:

"The wider significance of a triumph of unilateral management prerogative would be a widening of the representation gap in UK employment relations,
and a further erosion of worker rights and of that most precious of commodities – democracy." (my enbolden)
I'm assuming that some of these experts in industrial relations who signed this open letter know what they're talking about.
