Um, I'm really curious here and really this is a post to "Generally Legal".....
Why has the thread "BTS rises to the challenge" been deleted?
I know there is some reasonably controversial stuff on here but I would have thought "A letter to Tim about theives" would have ruffled a few more feathers.... but then again maybe not....
As I recall the content was mostly about the industrial tribunal case whereby workers in the then Computer Operations area were sacked for working practices that the very same people who were investigating them had been party to themselves.
I had the extreme pleasure in attending the tribunal and seeing senior managers slaughtered on the witness stand.
The guys lost on 2 technicalities 1> that they were on management grades and therefore should have known better (when in fact they were not officially mangers) and secondly that the company had not taken their offence seriously by letting them work on until replacements could be found.. Apparantly despite the fact that they could have sabotaged Legal and General within an instant by hitting the "emergency Power off" button the solicitors for L&G claimed that they were not in a position to do any harm....
It still cost the company 500 grand and costs were not awarded.....
I normally shy away from conspiricy theories but I'm beginning to wonder..... was there something so significant in those posts that might have caused ructions even years later?
Maybe the fact that the union openly sided with management for the purposes of self advancement ? and indeed even threatened some union members with legal action for calling out out their cowardly siding with L&G's management?
