As ever, the unions are mindlessly right behind the latest progressive group-think, with no awareness that its time has passed. Bear in mind, also, that more than 70% of Unison members are women, and you get an idea of how out-of-touch they are. If you object when you find a man in the woman’s toilet or the women’s changing room, Unison will not support you, but call you a bigot and side with your employer
