Story: Vodafone workers win union recognition

View from a worker

A Vodafone spokesman said: "Vodafone UK engages positively and constructively with unions"

This spokesman certainly doesn't work for the Newbury based mobile phone operator where I work!

Vodafone has consistently refused to engage with Connect, I am unaware of a single occasion anywhere in the company where this has happened!!! Unless constructive engagement includes representing members at grievance hearings!

During the recognition process Vodafone stalled at every opportunity, even after it had been demonstrated that 50%+ of the workers were members.

Vodafone workers need a trade union because of the way they are taken advantage of by their employer. Now the company has no choice but to listen to workers, and I believe this will ultimately be positive for the company.
