Mr Gill seems to have overlooked the fact that he does employ union members, so he could send them to drive coaches for National Travel — unless they stipulate which union they belong to.
Of course it MA Y interfere with their full-time occupations, that is employees of the Cornwall County Council, one employed at the Bodmin Comprehensive School in the English Department, a member of the NAS. The other gentlemen, whom I have not met, apparently drives from the Wadebridge area to the St Austell Centre for Further Education, and I understand this is a normal daily task for him. He then teaches for the day and returns with the contract bus in the evening.
Perhaps if Mr Gill was to employ sufficient full-time personnel to cover most of his commitments, he might have more members of staff to join unions.
