Helena Bailey Helena is the owner of 'Hot Stuff' in Hemel Hempstead which is a plant that manufactures swimwear and sunhats. The busiest time for production annually is between March and May when the English weather picks up and the volume of orders increase. Over one third of Helena's workforce is Muslim. Helena was worried about the impact of annual leave of her Muslim staff as the Lunar Calendar (Islamic calendar) is moving forward each year. Key festivals such as Ramadan and Eid are starting to coincide with peak production time at the plant. To avoid any problems with manufacturing Helena introduced a no holiday rule for all staff in March, April and May citing business needs. However, this has not gone down very well with the staff, almost all of whom are union members. Furthermore, the union representative, Zach Hussain, has threatened that more than 50% of the union members are willing to strike over the next few months until the rule is reversed. Helena is very worried. Amy would like you to provide a detailed brieng note for her, supported by reference to legislation and case law, as to what the key issues are for both clients and what the way fonvvard is for them
