RM workers want more, the "public" see a shocking service already and they collide. It's simple really.

Now onto the court issue. It seems to me a complete and utter waste of time. It seems this Union is pulling at straws. It seems, they are seriously trying to get under the nose or the RM bosses and seriously annoy them. RM will simply power everything they have at this, a team of barristars costing hundreds of thousands. Maybe, this union should stop and look at the bigger ppicture here. RM workers want more money and better standards, etc correct?

However, this union is forcing RM to defend it's self and waste alot of money at this court, that could be put into improovements. So is it a wonder, why RM arn't / can't do more? I'm I alone here?
You don't sound like you're trying to start anything to me!

I think spending money on the court case is something RM have to do versus giving a pay rise during a recession to their workers. They don't have to offer an additional payrise.
They do have to defend themselves, lest they lose by default.
(I also think it's probably cheaper to pay some barristers for one case, rather than an entire workforce more for years to come).

I also think it's rather irresponsible of the union to expect RM to allow the workers that caused the issue of a massive backlog, to be paid overtime while clearing it. This would only cost RM more money.

In fact, i think i do agree in a way with you, if only that the union is trying to cost RM money indirectly. (Or rather, that's what they're doing regardless of intentions).
