Your implying that the union and the employees interests are the same, my point is that, that is not always the case. From experience. Anyway this is getting off the point. Ypur advise to get an advisor is good and might save money in the long run.
Brinkmanship with peoples jobs.
just a thought - do you think you have any employees who might actually prefer the redundancy? If they are there a number of years or have changed circumstances, maybe they want the lump sum
voluntary redundancies might be an alternative here, and might explain why the employees are flatly denying to accept the inevitable
I dont think so, the longest serving employee is only 5 years. so the package would not be huge for people. thanks for all the comments and help. i think i will meet the unions, pretty must say that it will have to be a pay cut or redundancy, show them my accounts and the position i am in. I dont think i will bring my solicitor as i want this to essentially be an informal meeting more than anything (if thats possible). i have my solicitor on notice to meet pending the outcome of the meeting.
Remember it's your company and you didn't have to agree to meet them. If the meeting gets out of hand just call it off.
Thanks Becky, im going to meet them, as a courtesy, show them the accounts, tell them its either paycuts or redundancy. thats the extent im going to say, if they going off on a tangent or anything im out of there.
They then said the preferred option is the redundancy!!! Isnt that the weirdest thing i ever heard! any thoughts?
Thanks Missey!!! 3 staff just text me, said they will take pay cut. said they were put under pressure from other staff to join union and refuse the cuts.
Well I make it 5 out of 8 who want to work with them - the 2 that didn't want to join the union at the beginning, and now these three.. Out of the 8 you have 3 who want to work with you, can you talk to each of the remaining 5 to see how they really feel.

You also need to axe two people. Be careful when choosing who to make redundant they they don't think it was because of their union shenanigans.
