Militant trade unions that order a strike regardless of the views of their own members, appeals panels and the law. 299 vs 221 is hardly a sweeping majority and with only 42% turning out - a driver is breathalised and failed it, union says the breathaliser wasnt calibrated for people with diabetes but turns out the guy had a second test which also failed him (which takes into account people with diabetes who can return a false +ve on the test).
The union says that LU are peddling misinformation about the case but fail to say what it is and the reason for striking.
Really is ridiculous, 'sometimes' you can sympathise with the reasoning when it concerns safety and them standing up to changes but in this case cannot see why they have any grounds to legally call a strike when someone commits gross misconduct, get sacked as LU were well within their rights to do, put the persons appeal through all the processes and independent appeals panel which shows he is still sacked and still they can call a strike...it astonishes me that this is still allowed in modern society.
