'the general fear of the employer about possible trade union action based on copyright issues relating to academic research'

A fanciful argument. As Stevan often points out, scholarly papers - the subject of this forum - are not money-making propositions anyway. Campus trade unions and university managements have much more important issues to fight about. I can't imagine a strike about copyright!
