Unite is getting in the habit of showing it’s teeth when it isn’t unhappy. This time it’s angry at BMI and Lufthansa over an unpaid pay rise which was initially deferred for a year, with BMI is being taken to court by the union Unite over claims it has failed to honour a three-year pay award to its staff.
Unite claims that 3,000 members at the company have not had received a pay rise since 2008. AS a result, the lawyers are being set loose at the high court.
A sad state of affairs, but this is now entering the hands of the legal system, where there can be only one winner.
The lawyers.
