No, they can't, which is exactly the point I'm making. The vast majority of workplaces only recognise a single union. So for instance, my workplace recognises PCS which, fortunately for me, isn't a Labour front organisation.

You are a teacher, which means you are one of the privileged few to actually have the option of several unions.
