So he doesnt deny it then.
Interestingly he doesn't, does he? Although it does seem odd that VS would have offered cash to break a strike before a strike has actually been called. Has anyone on here been offered, or heard of this offer? How would it work - money offered to those on the picket lines to get back to work? Not sure I follow this. That's something I'd love to know more about.

The flip side of the coin is it's a perfectly understandable comment from LS. Virgin will do absolutely everything they can to protect their business. They are not going to take industrial action lying down, so expect any and all possible reactions if this goes to strike.

Boyd, on the other had, seems way out of his depth here. Everything about his handling of negotiations has been amateur. Unite, and the ineffectual Brian Boyd, need to be shown the door and a better-equipped union found for the task.
