Letters / Should be reported
Amongst the more bizarre rumours regarding a No vote in the referendum are: the distant islands allowance will disappear (it won’t), your company will move (it won’t) your job will be gone (it won’t).
Employers who put pressure on employees on how they should vote, whether in a local authority, NHS, oil company, should be reported to management or media, unions or MSP.
Any company or employer is perfectly free to voice their own opinion on a Yes/No vote. They cannot exert pressure on their staff to vote in a certain way.
