Thanks for your comments. It is a complex situation, but all employees were 
told they had to either sign a new contract of employment or lose their 
jobs. The unions advised them to sign (96% did) and the unions now have a 
court action against the city council for 'constructive dismissal' from the 
old contracts for ?12,000,000 (about ?14,000,000). I have lot of sympathy 
with these workers as I used to work for the council, and I was a union 
member. I retired early and I am a pensioner who has lost some of his 
pension as a result of government ''changing the rules', and the union has 
another court action in progress for that matter. We wait and see.
