TRIBUNE editor Chris Mullin has condemned new moves by John Silkin and Lord Bruce to take legal action in their bid to win control of the paper.
"Mr Silkin and Lord Bruce", said Chris Mullin, "do not enjoy the support of a single member of staff nor, so far as we are aware, of any other member of the Board of Directors.
•'Their activities over the last month have been gravely damaging to the paper and, as they must be aware, an expensive court action could destroy the paper. If they sink Tribune, they will never be forgiven by the labour movement' The legal action is threatened in order to overturn the employee shareholding scheme agreed at a special meeting of the Tribune Board of Directors on December 23.. Silkin and Bruce also criticise as "improper' a decision of the December 23 meeting to issue Chris Mullin with a three year contract as editor.
They say they will go to the courts within seven days' if they do not get satisfaction at a Board meeting scheduled for Thursday January 13.
