Brian Roper underestimates the extent of opposition to the new contract by describing staff who oppose it as "an absolute minority".

The 387 London Guildhall staff plus their North London colleagues who are unhappy with the "contract from hell" constitute a majority. He cannot include the 2,000 part-time staff, who would not be subject to this contract and so do not come into the equation.
