Well if results Highland Council v. Transport and General Workers’ Union (No 2) (2008) are anything to go by not enough 'goodwill' shown by managment yet to indicate consultation not going to be met by denial that there is a problem in the firstplace.
It seams litigation still may remain the only way to get their attention for some time to come - hey ho

Nigel, the case to which you refer went to tribunal and subsequently appeal which was subsequently awarded to Highland council.
As I understand the T&GWU are supposed to represent its members however in this case it tried to flex its muscles without a request from any member(s) for it to represent them and has now got its fingers burnt, hopefully they will now try more gentle persuation and mediation when requested rather than bully boy tactics, I suppose threat of strike action will be their next step.
