I'm not arguing the rights and wrongs of the BA strike, I just think a dangerous and undemocratic precedent was set today.....yet another human right consigned to the dustbin 

That is absolute rubbish, and surely you must see that. Where, pray, in the judge's decision is a human right consigned to the dustbin? There are laws, which are designed to protect both employer and employee. It is incumbent upon all parties to ensure that compliance with the law is 100% watertight. No doubt you'd be singing in the streets if an employer was caught out on a technicality.

but it completely disregards the spirit of the law - its not a black and white decision, the question is did the balloted BA strikers vote to strike or not? and did they - to the best of their ability follow procedures? you cant just throw that intention out on a very minor technicality in my opinion.......we'll see if the appeal courts agrees soon

A lawyer would eat you for breakfast, Banjax. Employment laws are very tightly written. If Unite, with all its money, can't get decent lawyers to monitor their actions, they must be plain slapdash.

Is Tony Woodley for real, or just a pretend tw*t?

on the contrary, lawyers exploit gray areas, bend and twist meaning and intention to their clients advantage, if it was as clean and clear as you suggest - lawyers wouldn't exist - it'd be one guy reading the rule book and deciding

I'm inclined to agree BJ, the use of the law by the Establishment, business groups and others with an agenda for self promotion and protection forms a dangerous precident and should be closely monitored.

Don't ask anyone over in Carter-Ruck however
