Is this offer acceptable: NO
Is the TB effective: YES
Does the company want the TB removed: YES
Will the company suddenly transform into a caring employer if we roll over: NO
Will the company laugh themselves all the way to their next bonuses if we vote yes: YES
Can the company expand with a TB and CC: NO
What is the obvious answer to this appalling and derisory offer: NO
It really doesn't matter what they threaten or imply. I am not voting for an offer that neuters the AOA, confirms we are weak fools, and once and for all opens the doors to a never ending slide towards COS 18 for all. It may not be comfortable doing so, but a NO vote is the ONLY sane option. I am happy to keep TB and CC going for the rest of my career, and i'm on ARAPA and would like the additional housing. I won't throw away my integrity and honour for that however. NO. NO. NO.
