How did the old UL regime create a what independent auditors call a "pervasive fraud environment"? It starts at the top, and it was enabled by the same gang who are trying to smear the GS today. therealunite.com/2025/06/09/a...

The UL faction knew what auditors would uncover: the old regime was corrupt to the core. So they did everything they could think of to blow smoke and stop this report. Wasted members' money and union time on lawsuits, even smeared our GS. What will they do now?

With UK steel getting squeezed from all sides, makes sense to forge solidarity with steel unions. But when a delegation headed to Vegas, not one person on the trip was a steel worker or even an officer involved in steel negotiations. Some big UL names went tho. Hmmm therealunite.com/2025/05/07/d...

Looks like the UL is uniting with the far-right Murdoch press to undermine Unite workers and smear our union. This rag has all the same rubbish you heard from the "UL supporters group". The same made-up numbers. The same tired attacks. Pathetic.
