geared Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Well it seems like this story has another little twist. Unite sent gangs of thugs to intimidate the families of INEOS managers claims made by an Ineos manager who said a "mob" was sent by Unite to his home to intimidate him. Unite, which is the Labour Party's largest donor, sent a group called the Leverage Team to "threaten senior Ineos executives at home, and to seriously intimidate their families". it was "clear from Unite's website" that the tactics were "not an isolated incident" but a "consistent strategy that they have used across the country". Unite said "leverage tactics" were both "legal and legitimate" during an industrial dispute http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-24758166 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingus Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Well it seems like this story has another little twist. Unite sent gangs of thugs to intimidate the families of INEOS managers http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-24758166 Very nice chaps indeed. It follows the claims of an Ineos manager who said a "mob" was sent by Unite to his home to intimidate him. Unite said "leverage tactics" were both "legal and legitimate" during an industrial dispute. It said bad employers should have "nowhere to hide". But in his letter to Mr Miliband, Mr Shapps described the strategy as "thuggish". He urged Mr Miliband to condemn the approach, to refuse money from Unite until those responsible were disciplined, and again called on Labour to investigate allegations of vote rigging in the Falkirk constituency. He claimed Unite, which is the Labour Party's largest donor, sent a group called the Leverage Team to "threaten senior Ineos executives at home, and to seriously intimidate their families".

geared Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 All hot air tho. What he is asking is for Miliband to refuse any money from UNITE. That will savagely cut the Labour party budget as UNITE give the most money, obviously that will never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
