Notes

  1. It was reported that TGWU made payments totalling £600,000 to the two shop stewards involved in the secondary action to compensate them for losing their jobs. In turn, the two men agreed not to talk publicly in the face of allegations that they were following union orders by organising the secondary strike (Hencke, 2006).

  2. For a full account of the Gate Gourmet dispute, see Pearson et al. (2010).
