I get that not every battle can be fought but this is probably the best opportunity to kill the hydra that has arisen in a long time.
exactly. Who cares about their arbitrary wages policy. They only care as it’s linked to KPIs and their gross little bonus scheme.
unions should shove our wages policy down their lying pie holes.
