Yesterday the story broke around the tactics allegedly used by Unite in the Grangemouth dispute, this involved sending groups of men to the homes of senior executives with the intention of “persuading” them to back down. My rudimentary understanding of the situation is that this type of action is not actually illegal, how moral it is, I will leave for you to decide.
I wrote about unions a few days ago stating that I was largely positive about the union movement as they do some good work, however when you read about things like this you do start to worry about how anyone could think that this kind of intimidation will solve a dispute.
Those of you that are fairly regular readers of my blog will have noticed that recently I have shied away from talking about what’s going on in my life and I can assure you that there is a good reason for this. Let’s just say that my personal life is not in a good lace and leave it at that.
More later.
