Yes, that is correct Chad. Customers may not know and probably don't care that one was a supplier related increase. We all complain when our energy prices increase, despite being told that it is a result of wholesale price increases.

VM should factor in future price increases to reduce the incidents of price changes.

VM are adamant that the union will lose and that they won't take a chunk of money out of the business- leaving them free to limit price increases, whilst investing in technology, services and staff.

The CWU union, on the other hand, appear to be celebrating their victory before the case has even been heard- some members have been reported as "spending" the money already.

Let's just wait and see.

Don't they just! I refuse to speak to them and have constantly argued for call centres to be UK based.

My argument has been significantly weakened by the efforts of the CWU to extract more money from the company for former employees now in new jobs. Unfortunately, this behaviour has led to VM taking steps to de-recognise the union.
