Not even a sorry. Union leaders are like MP's in it for what they can get. Plus I hope the old man was hurt & charged with criminal damage. If it had been a football match he would have been arrested & banned.
I understand your frustration , mate.
That is unacceptable behaviour from your Union, but let's be careful about generalising too much from one case.
no doubt there are union hacks who are lazy and on the take, but try to imagine how the workers in this country (or any other ) would have done without the unions
TBH
we have most of what we have because of them
leave it to the market and you'll be thrown out of work as the company moves operations to unregulated countries in the developing worl with no H&S culture at all.....
cue massive the Bhopal gas emissions (1980's)
South american miners lost in landslides (1990's)
Cue
Bangladeshi textile mill building collapse last week
Welcome to the Past......

Speaking from 'Merica, I can say Unions were necessary in the past. Unfortunately they became as corrupt as the govt they were protecting workers from. Not sure about your laws, but, now there are so many laws protecting employees unions are not necessary.

I used to be a member of Unite but ended up hating them more than management and cancelled my membership.

I don't think you understand Unite are fucking around in the wrong area with the wrong people. Block of the Academy have a go at the building company that's fair enough no one would blame them doing that. Don't though go blocking of the main road and then try and jump on normal peoples cars.
You do that to my car you're going to get a tire iron across the head. I couldn't give a fuck if you were an old man or not you damage my car you're fucking having. I'm pretty mild mannered to compared to some of the nutters round there. You go jumping on their cars you're likely to get an axe in the face, stabbed or even worse shot and I'm being deadly serious when i say that.

Dom the mad bastards were throwing fucking hand grenades around not long ago. Do you think headcases with that sort of mentality are not going to do something if you jump on their car ?
Blacklisting is totally illegal. This government totally ignores it.
It goes on in many areas through 'networking', lodges guilds etc, and includes price-fixing and cartels
As for the guy on the bonnet, being 'old' is no excuse. They are trying to draw attention from the media to escalate the situation but they are pissing in the wind in this era of right-wing reporting
