Take criminally bad union leader before court (6)
I believe the answer is:
abduct
'take' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'criminally bad union leader before court' is the wordplay.
'criminally' indicates an anagram.
'leader' says to take the initial letters.
'before' says to put letters next to each other.
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
The initial letter of 'union' is 'u'.
'bad' with letters rearranged gives 'abd'.
'abd'+'u'+'ct'='ABDUCT'
(Other definitions for abduct that I've seen before include "Take (someone) away by force" , "Criminally remove to an undisclosed location" , "Snatch away" , "Remove by force" , "Hijack" .)
