Shortly after the commencement of the employments, the plaintiffs urged the first five defendants to effect the transfers to the unions specified in their contract but, instead of doing so, these defendants authorised union A to represent them in dealings with the plaintiffs in the matter and that union informed the plaintiffs of its objection to the transfer of its members and appointed a shop steward to act in the plaintiffs' factory. The sixth defendant was an official of union A. In similar circumstances the first defendant agreed to become a member of union T. The first five defendants were members of trade union A and each of them (except the first) on entering into a contract of employment with the plaintiffs was required by them to agree, and did agree, in writing to a special term binding him to become a member of union N and to remain a member of that union during his employment with the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs agreed with trade union N that the plaintiffs would not employ workers of a particular category who had not agreed to become members of that union.
