Virgin Media anti-union move hits BECTU members
26 November 2012

Roughly 30 members of BECTU working for Virgin Media have been caught up in union de-recognition bid.

those mere 30 bectu members work in broadcasting and its nearly xmas ,and bectu are a lot more militant than the cwu ,make sure the freeview is tuned in".

I took this to mean that VM TV screens may go dark at Christmas due to industrial action by some VM staff.

If my TV goes off due to industrial action I will simply use another TV supplier, what will others do?

Does anyone know if this threat is a reality?
There is more chance of man landing on Mars then of this happening.
