The post you are reporting:
Andy, no contract was signed, so there can be no employment tribunal case. Roger was, legally, not employed.
From Barry's posting, and Roger's earlier, it seems a salary figure of £24.5kpa had been mentiond, but only £9.5kpa was on the table, as according to CoC they could only offer what they could afford. They must either be pretty stupid to think anyone worthwhile would accept such an insulting salary offer, or they were playing a political game.
However, assuming they are honourable folks and the aforementiond doesn't apply, there is perhaps a funding shortage. So where do CoC get their funding from? Presumably members subscriptions and grants/donations from DDC/DTC?
So, maybe what we see here, is a repeat of the political shenanigans to remove the illustious AND successful Mike Webb from TCM? CoC is just the stoolpigeon in a bigger game. Our local politicos are not averse to machiavellianism!
