Also as SLF but as a trade unionist, I agree with you. Nobody is looking to kill any goose, as far as I can see, merely to exercise their lawful right to have their union recognised. I don't see what is wrong with that.

HHowever, I do see something wrong with RYR acting in what seems to me to be an unlawful manner in sacking someone without going through due process, or so it would seem.

When this case goes through court, as I think it will, and pilot is awarded however much, plus costs, as I think he will going by the scant knowledge put before us, then that will come out of profits. Not a good way to run a business. A recognised union may have saved that pot of cash for them by negotiation.

As for putting cash into RYR, didn't MOL flog off some shares not long ago? Hardly the greatest of confidence.
