Union Fires Official for Taking Side of Low Paid Women
A number of readers have been in touch about the recent post on Unison – see post dated 24 August 2009.
Here’s a selection of the comments we've received:
Midlothian
“I was a union steward for years. In my experience a full-time official would have to murder someone to get the sack - and even then they’d get their job back on appeal. Sounds like a right proper stitch-up.”
Edinburgh
“Normally a complaint form an employer would be taken as a sign that a union official was doing their job and standing up for the members. How can that be grounds to sack someone?”
Glasgow
“I’ve known Ken Seaward for a long time. Had my differences with him for sure, but no one deserves to be sacked like that, not after 28 years service. It’s a disgrace.”
