Do you agree with punishing innocent people?
No, but I do agree with punishing stupidity , even if it is legally protected.
I think this strike sets records in all kinds of negative waysr and therefore feel that it is right to punish the strikers, even if I believe that many are simply gullible fools who follow their reps without demur.
If you believe that the strike has been driven by the personal motives of CSD's likely to suffer a small disadvantage, who have then misled or lied to the bulk of their members to get their support, then although legal because they went through the motions, the thing is a fraud.
Litebulbs, are there any precedents for members taking legal action against their reps/unions for -what i would term as - deception ?
If it could be shown that the reps were pursuing their own goals and using the members to achieve them whilst deceiving them, could they be sued for loss of earnings and other things or is there anything in TU legislation that gives them protection?
