Story: BBC slipped up over outsourcing savings

"The Broadcasting Entertainment Cinematograph and Theatre Union (Bectu), which represented approximately 370 of the IT staff the BBC sold to Siemens... fiercely criticised the BBC for its miscalculation of cost savings."

Seems to me BECTU could've taken a more direct approach to protecting the interests of its members in this case than quibbling over the exact amount of cost savings: IANAL but I'd guess the 1807 Anti-Slave Trade Act, the 1833 Slavery Abolition |Act and Article 4 of the 1998 Human Rights Act could be applicable here.
