If that was the case then the there would be no ET's from companies with agreed procedures and this is not the case.
This is not about whether DH was sacked fairly or not. He may or may not have been. If the Union lawyers think he has a case then it will go for an ET, if they don't think he has any chance it will not. I don't think wasting time on his particular case moves anything along as far as the dispute is concerned.
At present he remains dismissed and unemployed by BA. There are only two possibilities for the future...He will remain unemployed by BA without payment or he will remain unemployed by BA with compensation....

With reference to the Corus quote...It was from Les Bayliss who I think has a good chance of becoming General Secretary. Nice to see Terry Pye getting the praise he deserves. If only he could get involved with BA.........
