Get real the company tried to close the Albert Dock in an underhand way not realising that they would be caught with their trousers down and will be punished for their high handedness in a few weeks time.

This is the real reason for the company desperately trying to undermine union membership before the unfavourable result comes out which will result in a sharp rise in new members of the CWU as they realise it is the way to go.

If anyone is stupid enough to believe anything this company says and decides to drop their membership then they will just be giving this company a remit to ride roughshod over any agreements already in place.

I and all my ex colleagues and CWU union members from the Albert Dock are awaiting the result of the tribunal with bated breath as the evidence against the company is overwhelming, a little bit of bad publicity for Virgin Media just before Christmas will be our perfect gift at that time.

I was talking to an engineer yesterday who felt that the vote is a smoke screen and that they will drop the recognition no matter what. He thinks VM have a reason for this vote that they are not talking about
