It appears from outside looking in that they simply wanted to move one area onto the same approach as the rest of his business - so I am struggling as to why there is so much suspicion?

I also think the union have an agenda and are trying to damage their brand and drive up membership with scaremongering hence my comments to try an balance the argument

you never said you where from the world of high finance

can i interest you in some snake oil ;)

when there is a vote lets say something like the general election and the governing party get ousted do they lie down and die do they give up resign from politics etc?
the answer is no they start the fight back they don't take it lying down they plan for their return they increase their percentage of the voters until they have enough to carry the vote in their favour, and that is what we will do and if that upsets you may i suggest a move to communist china your views would be welcomed there 1 party total domination seems to be your thing ;)

and for the record i am a model employee and have just received yet another award from the company for my selflessness in the line of duty.
thats putting the company/customers interest before my own .

i am the very glue that holds it all together and i make a cracking brew.:)

and when i say glue i don't mean that modern rubbish i mean traditional glue made from bull poop spit and iron . and the closest i get to the beach is having a walk on a sunny day.

I would never say that our job is anything like attacking Omaha beach or will ever match the bravery of those that did land on Omaha beach, however the stress can at times be overpowering when it hits the fan :(.

no surprise there

what is baffling me is that management have decided to drag this up again just as things where going quiet, its like they just wanted to put the final boot in ,which has revived discussions around the offices , and people are asking where is the evidence of the vote

That will keep the union smiling. Notice that they were keen to publish lots of stuff on stealing rights but have not mentioned the outcome from the Albert Dock court case?
