I'm not advocating leaving the union and there is some merit in what has been posted, we had three for disciplinary, 2 union members and 1 non-union member, the union members went in with reps and were sacked, the non union member was re-instated - the reasons were diverse and could equally have been just dismissals but it did seem strange. One appeal is still ongoing according to a manager.

We should be actively recruiting new members and getting as many part timers signed up as possible and soon - we may well be facing a national vote - if not soon, then eventually, and we need to get it right.

I'd be inclined to think the non - union member was " protected " - maybe I'm too cynical - I agree , it sounds odd .
