I know it says court documents, but this isn't a lawsuit, it's a union grievance dispute. That's terrible reporting by the Guardian.

It's really not your fault, I'm not sure if UK unions have similar legal processes, and if they don't that explains the misstep, but they really should be more careful.

Thanks! :)

And iac. Generally The Guardian is a reputable source (the only thing I've side-eyed there so far are their editorials against Corbyn as they have taken a really pro-Blair stance). So this is really disappointing of them.
