If anybody has more information to add on this company, especially its history, finances, staff names and activities, it would be appreciated. Wikidea 13:22, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Trolling

I reverted the recent additions by the mysterious user because

  • the article page is not a discussion page to question the content. It is a place to add content that is referenced and accurate
  • the article is not a general discussion about the merits of unions - that can be done on the trade union page. This is a page about a specific company
  • the discussion which included references to the Employment Relations Act 1999 and the NLRA are misplaced, and did not add much. In particular, the sentence which said that the ERA had changed the ability of employers to communicate with trade unions and employees is dubious. I refer the trolls to the text of the Act, and invite them to show how this is the case, and under which sections, and why they feel this changed the position for companies like TBG Labor. And then once they have done that, they can use that information to improve the Employment Relations Act 1999 page, and stop putting irrelevant stuff on this one
  • furthermore, considering there is a debate about whether to keep the page, I would suggest that the material should stay as it is currently presented.
  • if there are disputes about neutrality, then the appropriate tags should be used
  • nevertheless I am sceptical that any of these people have anything constructive to contribute whatsoever. Yet I live in hope.

I should add, I kept one valuable comment by the user that came to Wikipedia because he did not like this page. He said he had phoned TBG and they told him that in the FlyBe campaign they only had 2 workers trying to stop the union getting recognised. I added that to the article to note that the facts are contested. It's a welcome addition. More like that would be positive! Wikidea 14:20, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
