Well spotted Sherwood! Didn't know if the information about the court case was public which is why I haven't spoken up previously. The Post Office lost the TUPE case on all three points earlier this summer and we are waiting to see if they try to appeal, or if not, how much they will pay us in compensation. Although it suited me to 'take the money and run', there were colleagues that this has had a devastating impact on.
It is my personal belief that WHS did not want us to take up our TUPE rights for more than just monetary reasons. We as Union members, would also bring and extend membership into their business which would clearly make life more difficult for them.
