Set up by Wilkin and Peacock, but ruffling a few feathers it seems?

My girl-friend looked me in the eye, and asked "Do you love me, more than you love Swinton?" I replied "If I said yes, would you believe me?"

Is it that the players do not think that the GMB has properly represented them with their employers?  I do know that the GMB has funded certain legal actions that individual players have taken from time to time.

The big question is that does it mean the end of agents representing players and taking a substantial cut of their earnings?

A senior Trade Union Official of another union said something quite telling about the then AEEU getting a single union agreement at Toyota  ___  "There is nothing wrong with a single union agreement as long as it is my union that gets it."
