just heard tonight, that just before the ballot was held, rolls royce bosses announced that if there was a vote to strike, they would shut the factory down! now, although i would suspect that to be a bluff, it must have had a substantial influence on how people voted.
Hicks acted against the interests of his members and has paid the price. He really was a gift to the bosses actually if you think about it.
As for my part in the downfall of imperial tobacco, well i had little to do with board room decisions and abided by the will of the membership which was to negotiate very favourable relocaction / voluntary redundancy payoffs to workers.
That was what I was asked to do, that was what I did.
Full pay to next year, £100,000 in the back pocket & a well paid job with the union..... the really funny bit is all the divvies on this thread explaining how this squares with him not being for sale...... obviously they've all got Galloway as a role model.....
