Actually Rait I neither like Liverpool nor Man Utd, Spurs man me. Been a long time between drinks in supporting them I can tell you. What is there to say? A labour tribunal rules that it has jurisdiction for some of those who applied for its protection. Mmmm, I don't see that making the company run for cover do you? They would probably like to take this opportunity to settle with a negotiated payment to those few involved. Probably is a good thing as it could pre-empt a settlement overall. Or on the dark side continue the fight, re-write contracts a lot tighter and with even more reduced benefits for those based overseas from HKG. Even if the company lose, what can a Labour Tribunal do? They can recommend re-employment but that is not truly enforceable is it. Compensation in lieu is another option. I am an optimist, good for those who might see some compensation and a settlement overall comes from it. Was that enough for the pit bulls or was I too moderate. Regards.
