If they were only trying to survive for the future, it would be only too obvious that the measures they had suggested were temporary (by temporary i mean up to a few years), and were't detrimental to current agreements, rather simply a reduction in available work with an associated reduction in pay. That letter posted above reads entirely differently: it is an unprecedented (and wholly unnecessary) land grab, because they view that they will get away with it. They are seemingly using a time where people are at their most vulnerable to stick the knife further in.
