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.  |
Gloating born out of sour grapes is never a pleasant trait to witness.

I'm surprised to see you Sirius, last time I encountered you, you said you were changing your name
Anyway, do you believe that VM need to continue to recognise the CWU, even though you believe that they are an excellent employer?

Yes, it was agency work he was doing for Adecco as opposed to being employed by VM.
I agree with your sentiments, he does appear to be "counting his chickens before they are hatched"
