I'm not sure its right either, but then again the union have behaved disgrafeully throughout this whole sage so I have absolutely ZERO sympathy for anyone today.
In which case, Arty, had I gone on strike, I'd now probably be investing heavily in Pampers for fear of Willie Walsh - who I think has had a bit of a game plan all along - coming after me and getting rid of me without annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnny bother at all.
I fear all those who went on strike are now in grave danger if their records/files aren't crystal clear..... Which saddens me - a lot of GOOD people have taken part in this action.
By the way, was just watching sky news a couple of mins ago and they answered your question - basically the strike can be called again immediately (no 7 day notice required) should they be succesful tomorrow. However, they also confirmed what i posted before about the unlikeliness of the CoA even taking this case on. I think its probably curtains for now and hopefully a resolution can be thrashed out in the coming days.
Interesting. Thanks. Am in a bar and, sadly, the SWI / CHA (I dunno who they are - read that off the score bitty at the top... I hate soccer ball) game has taken priority over SkyNews.
ETA : can a judge REALLY remove the right of either party to appeal? That in itself seems almost undemocratic to me. There should be a limit to appeals, but no single judge should be allowed to decree that his/her judgement is beyond question.
