Mass intimidation

I have just seen a report to the effect that Ryanair will be operating Buzz flights as of May, following the acceptance by 90% Buzz pilots of a new contract. I would like to point out that we already had a legally binding contract and were bullied into accepting a much worse package under threat of loss of job, no redundancy, no pay in lieu of notice etc. Several people who did not accept the new contract by the deadline, which was imposed quite illegally, are expecting to be wrongfully dismissed on the 1 April, although Ryanair has invented a quaint new legal term "dismissing yourself".

The behaviour of KLMuk and Ryanair during this take-over has been disgraceful, numerous UK employment laws are being broken, I am sure that law books of the future will be filled with case studies from this take-over.
