Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

THE ABSOLUTE power of Alan Law, the Midland area officer of the Transport and General Workers' Union, has been confirmed by a Birmingham Industrial Tribunal in a written decision published this week.

The Tribunal was giving its reasons for rejecting claims by 18 men that they were dismissed unfairly because they would not comply with an agreement made when Alan Law was the union spokesman.

The men have argued that they were not bound by a decision made without their consent, but the Tribunal ruled that, in this case, they were.

Tribunal chairman, Mr Richard Smith, said that the men were bound by the agreement and that it was not for him or his colleagues to make any comment on either the behaviour of Mr Law or the union.

After a union investigation (CM May 24) it was decided that Mr Law should no longer represent the car transporter drivers.
