Unite and a blogger who is a supporter of the unionâs leader, Len McCluskey, have lost a £1.3m battle over legal costs with a former Labour MP.
A judge ruled that the union, Labourâs most generous backer, and Stephen Walker must hand over the money after losing a libel case in 2019 brought by Anna Turley.
Lawyers told the judge that Unite and Walker had agreed to pay about £1.3m spent on the case by Turley, who lost her seat in Redcar, North Yorkshire, in the 2019 general election.
Judge Andrew Gordon-Saker considered issues relating to legal costs at an online hearing on Thursday, about 18 months after the libel case ended. He said Turley had won and was therefore entitled to have her costs paid by the losers.

When Joshua Breidenbach and Chi-An De Leo recognised the potential for the growth of the creative community in Ho Chi Minh City, they decided to launch their own studio. Having lived and worked there for several years, they realised the advertising agencies they were a part of weren’t going to be the ones to carve out space for “Vietnam’s youthful and curious population” to flourish. “We wanted to do something that had not been done,” Joshua, the studio’s ECD recalls. “An inevitable emergence of a creative community was on the horizon.” With plenty of brands also emerging, they launched Rice in 2011; a now over 25-person design studio on a mission to “[make] things better than they were before we got involved”.

The Friday filing from Teamsters Airline Division and Local 2118 urged U.S. District Judge Andrew Gordon to reject a motion for summary judgment from Allegiant Air LLC that argued an arbitration panel did not have jurisdiction over its dispute with the unions.

We spend many waking hours preparing for work, at work, or recovering from work, and many of us live in societies that, in the words of scholar Kathi Weeks, “expect people to work for wages.” In
The transatlantic slave trade in the 1500s–1800s bound up capitalism with colonialism and racism. Slavery was progressively abolished starting in the late eighteenth century in Haiti and continued through the nineteenth century, but this did not bring an end to racial hierarchies or the entanglement between race, capitalism, and colonialism. Instead, the transition to free wage labor accompanied the rise of scientific racism, the rapid growth of industrial capitalism, and heightened rivalries among competing empires.
