Para 4 bang on: 'Getting away with ‘egregious’ mistakes sets an appalling example – as does going to Court & trying – unsuccessfully as it happened – to persuade the Judge that they had consulted adequately when they manifestly hadn’t... compulsory.. conciliation & arbitration should be necessary'
New Blog today - No 87 about the High Court judgment on the street that wasn't consulted. Sad tale with a sad outcome. And all because Weetabix closed 2 factories in Corby. See tinyurl.com/Weetabixplan...
