Thanks for confirming the situation Grim Repa.

Seems like some member of the team he was Captain of informed "someone else" of the activities. Otherwise how did they find out?

As I said previously, if doing union work in contracted working time, UK or Ireland - not permitted unless already a union official (rep) or seeking election to such a position and the system has been agreed in advance.

Good luck to the pilot. I have no doubt that this was done to "make an example". However, it will be very interesting to see what direction this takes.

Would I be correct to say that at a tribunal, unfair dismissal compensation is capped in the UK?

Regards,

PS - Irish ATCO, I did say during the debate back then that 1 year later it would be a totally different picture. Seems I was correct!! Would you like to revisit your projections for traffic levels, pay or staff?
