@ThompsonsLaw We were so deeply saddened and so very sorry to hear the devastating news. Emily was a beautiful person who’s warm, kind and caring disposition brought reassurance to so many asbestos victims. It was an absolute honour to have known her and she will be dearly missed by all. ❤️

The Supreme Court has ruled in favour of trade union members employed by the transport company Nexus on the Tyne and Wear Metro in a judgment that clarifies the legal standing of collective agreements and the rights of employees to enforce them. The judgment stems from a long-running dispute over Nexus’s interpretation of a 2012 agreement with @unitetheunion, @RMTunion and other unions, in which a productivity bonus was incorporated into employees’ basic pay.
