The unions might ask themselves why they have such an appalling PR problem. And in seeking an answer, perhaps try not blaming the Tories for once.
As for level of representation ... a very quick Google suggests they may represent perhaps 30% of the workforce. So, perhaps a third of those in work, and presumably very, very few of those out of work, who by definition are the ones Unite feels suddenly so entitled to champion this afternoon.
